A one-shot circuit is also known as a timer.

More Questions from Flip-Flops

• Generally, a flip-flop's hold time is short enough so that its output will go to a state determined by the logic levels present at its synchronous control inputs just prior to the active clock transition.
• Inputs that cause the output of a flip-flop to change instantaneously are asynchronous.
• When the output of the NOR gate S-R flip-flop is and , the inputs are .
• Some flip-flops have invalid states.
• A positive edge-triggered flip-flop changes states with a HIGH-to-LOW transition on the clock input.
• ICs can perform sequential operations, including counting and data shifting.
• It takes four flip-flops to act as a divide-by-4 frequency divider.
• An astable multivibrator is sometimes referred to as a clock.
• The 7476 and 74LS76 are both dual flip-flops.
• An input which can only be accepted when an enable or trigger is present is called asynchronous.
