Practical 11
AIM: To study JK Flip flop circuit.

THEORY:

JK flip-flop can be used to build a counter that counts the number of positive or negative
clock edges driving its clock input. For the purpose of counting, the JK flip-flop is the ideal
element to use. The fig. shows circuit diagram of JK flip-flop. The truth table is as under.

CLK J K Q n+1
X 0 0 On (Last state)
↑ 0 1 0 (Reset)
↑ 1 0 1(Set)
↑ 1 1 On’(toggle)

When J & K both are at low state, both AND gate are disabled and so clock pulse has no
effect i.e. Q retains its last value. When J=0 & K=1 upper gate is disable so there is no way to
set the flip-flop. The only possibility is RESET. When Q is high, the power gate passes a
RESET triggers as soon as the next positive clock edge arrives. This forces Q to become low.
When J=1 & K=0, lower gate is disable so it is impossible to RESET the flip-flop. We can
SET the flip-flop. When Q is low Q bar is high. Therefore the upper gate passes a SET trigger
on the next positive clock edge. This drives Q into high state i.e. Q=1.When J=1 & K=1 then
there is a forbidden state with RS flip flop i.e. it is impossible to SET or RESET the flip flop.
If Q is high, the lower gate passes a RESET trigger on the next positive clock edge. On the
other hand when Q is low the upper gate passes a SET trigger on the next positive clock edge.
Either way Q changes to the complement of the last state. Therefore J=1 & K=1 means the
flip flop will toggle on the next positive clock edge. The toggle means to switch to the
opposite state. Thus by addition of clock and getting propagation delay, racing problem can
be eliminated in JK flip flop.

PROCEDURE:
1. Connect circuit as per the circuit diagram and give 5V DC power supply to input
terminals.
2. Switch ON the power supply.
3. Change the state of J & K as per truth-table and note down the status of output at
every stage as per truth-table.
4. Closely watch the output.
