This is a picture of a shift register, which is a very basic information holding circuit, it holds a total of four bits, which is equal to one nibble. It uses four J-K Flip Flops to hold these values.
I can analyze and design introductory flip flop applications such as event detection circuits, data synchronizers, shift registers, and frequency dividers.
In class we learned how to wire up Flip Flops, and how to use them efficiently to meet our needs. we learned how to create a Shift Register, and how to make an Alarm that doesnt turn off until you tell it to.
A D-Flip-Flop has four inputs and two outputs, it has a preset, clear, clock, and D. If preset and clear are both at 5v then everything works normally. There are two outputs, Q and Q not. The clock tells Q how quickly to switch between 5v and 0v depending on what D is at, Q switches to the opposite of D every time the Clock pulses, and Q not is always the exact opposite of Q.
A J-K Flip Flop is very similar to a D flip flop except for the fact that Q has to look at two inputs instead of one to see what its going to do, It looks at J and K, if J and K are at 5v then Q does what its supposed to do from the clock, but if either J or K are changed then it does different things regardless of the clock, like go straight down, or straight up, or not change at all.
