Correct Answer: triggering takes place on the negative-going edge of the CLK pulse
3. Four positive edge-triggered D flip-flops are used to store a 4-bit binary number as shown below. Determine if the circuit is functioning properly, and if not, what might be wrong.
Options
A. The circuit is functioning properly.
B. Q2 is incorrect; the flip-flop is probably bad.
C. The input to flip-flop 3 (D2) is probably wrong; check the source of D2.
D. A bad connection probably exists between FF-3 and FF-4, causing FF-3 not to reset.
Correct Answer: Q2 is incorrect; the flip-flop is probably bad.
4. Master-slave J-K flip-flops are called pulse-triggered or level-triggered devices because input data is read during the entire time the clock pulse is at a LOW level.
