Lab Report Work Obtained
This Lab experiment has been designed to familiarize the students with use of Flip-Flops
Objectives
Learn working of SR Latch and the way it can be constructed using NOR and NAND
gates
Modifying the SR Latch circuit to transparent latch (D-Latch)
Design D type positive edge-triggered Flip-Flop using SR Latched
Lab Instructions
This lab activity comprises three parts, namely Pre-lab, Lab tasks, and Post-Lab Viva
session.
The lab report will be uploaded on LMS three days before scheduled lab date. The
students will get hard copy of lab report, complete the Pre-lab task before coming to
the lab and deposit it with teacher/lab engineer for necessary evaluation.
The students will start lab task and demonstrate design steps separately for step-
wise evaluation (course instructor/lab engineer will sign each step after ascertaining
functional verification)
Remember that a neat logic diagram with pins numbered coupled with nicely
patched circuit will simplify trouble-shooting process.
After the lab, students are expected to unwire the circuit and deposit back
components before leaving.
The students will complete lab task and submit complete report to Lab Engineer
before leaving lab.
There are related questions at the end of this activity. Give complete answers.
3. Draw the logic diagram of SR Latch using NOR Gates. Also give its function table.
5. What are the set and reset conditions for SR and S´R´ Latches?
6. What is the undefined state for the Latches and how it occurs? How can you evaluate its
behavior in this state?
7. How can we remove the problem of undefined state using D Latch? Give Logic Diagram
of D Latch.
SR Latch:
10. Implement the SR Latch using a) NOR and b) NAND gates and show it to Lab
Instructor. Give Logic Diagram, Function Table, and State Table for both designs.
What is the difference between the two implementations?
NOR:
This is the SR latch. In this case the invalid condition is when both S and R are 1. The
outputs Q and Q’ are 0,0
NAND:
This is the S’R’ latch. In this case the invalid condition is when both S and R are 0. The
outputs Q and Q’ are 1,1.
Flip-Flop:
12. Implement a D-type positive edge-triggered Flip-Flop using S.R. latches. What gates
would you need for the implementation? Give Logic Diagram, Graphic Symbols and
Characteristic Table. What change would be needed to design a negative edge triggered
Flip-Flop?
14. D Flip-Flop IC is 7474. Give its PIN Configuration, Function table and internal IC circuit. Draw
its state diagram and compare working of IC to you design in 13
