Question 61
The characteristic equation of a JK flip-flop is:
Standard characteristic equation of JK flip-flop is Q_next = J Q' + K' Q.
The characteristic equation of a JK flip-flop is:
Standard characteristic equation of JK flip-flop is Q_next = J Q' + K' Q.
A T flip-flop has $T=1$ and starts with $Q=0$. What is Q after 7 active clock pulses?
With $T=1$ the flip-flop toggles every clock. An odd number of toggles changes 0 to 1.
Race-around condition in a level-triggered JK flip-flop occurs when:
With $J=K=1$, the output toggles repeatedly during a long active clock level if the clock pulse width exceeds the flip-flop propagation delay. Edge-triggered or sufficiently short pulses avoid this classic race-around condition.
Which statements are CORRECT for the timing parameters t_setup=3 ns, t_hold=2 ns, $t_{pd}$=5 ns, and t_comb=10 ns?
The setup constraint gives T>=5+10+3=18 ns, so fmax$\approx 55.56 MHz$. The given hold time is not part of this setup-only calculation.
Using $t_{pd}$=5 ns, t_comb=10 ns, t_setup=3 ns, what is the maximum clock frequency?
The minimum period is 18 ns, so fmax=1/(18 ns)=55.56 MHz.
