JK Master-Slave Flip-Flop: Construction
Legacy digital systems relied on robust edge-triggered storage to prevent race conditions during state transitions. This architecture uses steering logic and a two-stage latch sequence to toggle state without oscillation.
The circuit must implement a negative-edge triggered JK flip-flop. The master stage captures the inputs and resolves the next state while CLK is high. The slave stage updates the final outputs Q and Q_bar when CLK transitions from high to low.
| J | K | CLK | Q | Q_bar | |-----|-----|-------|-----|---------| | 0 | 0 | ↓ | Q | Q_bar | | 0 | 1 | ↓ | 0 | 1 | | 1 | 0 | ↓ | 1 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | ↓ | Q_bar | Q |
Constraints
- Construct the master and slave stages using basic logic gates or SR latches.
- Place the
JandKsteering logic exclusively at the master stage inputs. - Route the toggle state feedback connections from the slave stage outputs back to the master stage inputs.
- Do not use pre-built flip-flop components.
