Question
What is the significance of the J and K terminals on the J-K flip-flop?
Options
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 were chosen in honor of Jack Kilby, the inventory of the integrated circuit.
D. All of the other letters of the alphabet are already in use.

Correct Answer

The letters were chosen in honor of Jack Kilby, the inventory of the integrated circuit.

3. The timing network that sets the output frequency of a 555 astable circuit contains ________.
Options
A. three external resistors are used
B. two external resistors and an external capacitor are used
C. an external resistor and two external capacitors are used
D. no external resistor or capacitor is required

4. An invalid condition in the operation of an active-HIGH input S-R latch occurs when ________.
Options
A. HIGHs are applied simultaneously to both inputs S and R
B. LOWs are applied simultaneously to both inputs S and R
C. a LOW is applied to the S input while a HIGH is applied to the R input
D. a HIGH is applied to the S input while a LOW is applied to the R input

6. If both inputs of an S-R flip-flop are low, what will happen when the clock goes HIGH?
Options
A. An invalid state will exist.
B. No change will occur in the output.
C. The output will toggle.
D. The output will reset.

8. Which statement BEST describes the operation of a negative-edge-triggered D flip-flop?
Options
A. The logic level at the D input is transferred to Q on NGT of CLK.
B. The Q output is ALWAYS identical to the CLK input if the D input is HIGH.
C. The Q output is ALWAYS identical to the D input when CLK = PGT.
D. The Q output is ALWAYS identical to the D input.

10. A positive edge-triggered J-K flip-flop is used to produce a two-phase clock. However, when the circuit is operated it produces erratic results. Close examination with a scope reveals the presence of glitches. What causes the glitches, and how might the problem be corrected?
Options
A. The PRESET and CLEAR terminals may have been left floating; they should be properly terminated if not being used.
B. The problem is caused by a race condition between the J and K inputs; an inverter should be inserted in one of the terminals to correct the problem.
C. A race condition exists between the Q and Q outputs to the AND gate; the AND gate should be replaced with a NAND gate.
D. A race condition exists between the clock and the outputs of the flip-flop feeding the AND gate; replace the flip-flop with a negative edge-triggered J-K Flip-Flop.
