Tutorial 5

The document provides instructions for a computing tutorial with 4 questions. Question 1 describes the working mechanism of an RS flip flop which has two stable states and works based on the values of inputs S and R. Question 2 asks to construct timing diagrams for half adder, half subtractor and full adder circuits. Question 3 asks to describe the working of a 4-bit register using D flip flops. Question 4 differentiates between flip flops and latches, combinational and sequential circuits, and SIPO and PISO shift registers.

Instruction:
Complete all questions in 1 hour.
1. What is flip flop? Describe the working mechanism RS flip flop.

A flip-flop is a type of digital circuit that has two stable state, one representing 1 and the
other representing 0.The working mechanism of RS flip-flop is described below:

When S is 1 and R is 0 the output for Qis 0 and Q’ is 1.In the same way if S and R is 0 it
will work as memory where it will recall previous value. And where S is 1 and R is 1
output will be invalid.
Case I:
Reset=1, Set=0, Q=0, Q’=1
Reset=0, Set=0¸Q=0, Q’=1 (Memory)

Case II:
Reset=0, Set=1, Q=1, Q’=0
Reset=0, Set=0, Q=1, Q’=0 (Memory)

Case III:
Reset=1, Set=1, Not valid

3. Describe the working mechanism of 4-bit register by constructing the circuit using D flip
flop.

When we instruct input as 1 through write we will get output as 1 if we instruct 1 through 1.

4. Differentiate between:
a) Flip flop and Latch

Latches Flip flop

Latches are level triggered devices. Flip flops are edge triggered devices.

Latches can be clocked or clock less. Flip flops are always clocked.

Latches are faster as compared to Flip flops are slow compared to the
