D FLIP FLOP

D FLIP FLOP

In the SR flip flop an uncertain state occurred. This can be avoided by using D flip flop. Here D stands for “Data”. It is constructed from SR flip flop. The two inputs (S &R) of the clocked SR flip flop are connected to an inverter.

It is one of the most widely used flip – flops. It has a clock signal (Clk) as one input and Data (D) as other. There are two outputs and these outputs are complement to each other. The symbol of D flip – flop is shown below.

TRUTH TABLE

D flip – flop using NAND gates is shown below.

WORKING

  • D flip flop will work depending on the clock signal.

  • When the clock is low there will be no change in the output of the flip flop i.e. it remembers the previous state.

  • When the clock signal is high and if it receives any data on its data pin, it Changes the state of output.

  • When data is high Q reset to 0,while Q is set to 0 if data is low.
