a
What is the significance of the J and K terminals on the J-K flip-flop? A. There is no known significance in their designations. B. The J represents "jump," which is how the Q output reacts whenever the clock goes HIGH and the J input is also HIGH. C. The letters represent the initials of Johnson and King, the co- inventors of the J-K flip-flop. D. All of the other letters of the alphabet are already in use.
b
When both inputs of a J-K flip-flop cycle, the output will: A. be invalid B. not change C. change D. toggle
b
Which of the following describes the operation of a positive edge-triggered D-type flip-flop? A. If both inputs are HIGH, the output will toggle. B. The output will follow the input on the leading edge of the clock. C. When both inputs are LOW, an invalid state exists. D. The input is toggled into the flip-flop on the leading edge of the clock and is passed to the output on the trailing edge of the clock.
a
Which of the following is correct for a gated D-type flip-flop? A. The Q output is either SET or RESET as soon as the D input goes HIGH or LOW. B. The output complement follows the input when enabled. C. Only one of the inputs can be HIGH at a time. D. The output toggles if one of the inputs is held HIGH.
