Question 1

Considering the basic S–R (Set–Reset) latch truth table, how many distinct VALID input combinations exist?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The S–R (Set–Reset) latch is one of the simplest memory elements in digital logic. Its truth table illustrates which input combinations produce defined outputs and which are forbidden or invalid due to ambiguity or metastability risks. Given Data / Assumptions: Inputs: S (set) and R (reset) with active-high behavior. Outputs: Q and Q̄ with the constraint Q = not(Q̄). We consider the simple, unclocked, active-high S–R latch. Concept / Approach: There are four theoretical input combinations: 00, 01, 10, and 11. Of these, three lead to valid, deterministic behaviors: 00 (hold previous state), 01 (reset), and 10 (set). The input 11 is invalid because it drives both set and reset simultaneously, forcing Q and Q̄ both low in NOR-latch form, violating complementarity upon release and risking metastability. Step-by-Step Solution: List inputs: S R = 00, 01, 10, 11.Map results: 00 → Hold; 01 → Reset; 10 → Set; 11 → Invalid.Count valid entries: 3. Verification / Alternative check: Standard textbooks and digital logic curricula define the 11 state as forbidden for NOR-based S–R latches (and 00 forbidden for NAND-based active-low versions). The count of valid states remains three for either implementation after mapping active levels correctly. Why Other Options Are Wrong: 1 or 2 valid entries: Underestimates; both set and reset (plus hold) are valid. 4 valid entries: Overestimates; one combination is forbidden. Common Pitfalls: Confusing active-high NOR latch with active-low NAND latch; the invalid combination flips, but count of valid entries stays three. Ignoring timing hazards when exiting the invalid state can cause indeterminate outputs. Final Answer: 3

Question 2

A practical application of an S–R (Set–Reset) flip-flop/latch in digital systems is as a:

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Mechanical switches bounce—producing multiple rapid transitions when toggled. Digital circuits can misinterpret these as multiple events. A simple memory element like an S–R latch is excellent for cleaning up such signals and delivering a stable, single transition per actuation. Given Data / Assumptions: Input is a noisy mechanical contact with bounce. We need a stable digital signal at the output. A minimal logic solution is preferred. Concept / Approach: The S–R latch stores a state: one input asserts “set,” the other asserts “reset.” By wiring a double-throw switch to generate non-overlapping set/reset assertions, the latch output changes state once per action, ignoring intermediate chatter. Step-by-Step Solution: Connect switch throws to generate clean S and R signals (through resistors or Schmitt triggers if desired).When the switch is pressed one way, S = 1, latch sets Q = 1.When released or toggled the other way, R = 1, latch resets Q = 0.Brief bounce pulses do not change the held state unless they assert the opposite input steadily. Verification / Alternative check: Oscilloscope captures of switch bounce show multiple spikes; the latch output remains stable at one level until the deliberate opposite input arrives, confirming debouncing action. Alternatively, RC + Schmitt trigger networks can be used but add analog components. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Transition pulse generator: Uses differentiators or one-shots, not an S–R latch alone. Astable oscillator: Requires feedback timing network; an S–R latch by itself is not free-running. Racer: Not a standard digital function. Common Pitfalls: Allowing both S and R to be asserted simultaneously; this is a forbidden condition. Forgetting pull-ups/pull-downs, which can leave inputs floating and susceptible to noise. Final Answer: switch debouncer

Question 3

The 555 timer integrated circuit is commonly configured in which pair of standard modes (the two classic textbook applications)?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The ubiquitous 555 timer is a versatile analog/digital building block. Its internal comparators, flip-flop, and discharge transistor make it ideal for timing pulses and generating square waves with minimal external components. Given Data / Assumptions: Standard 555 connections using the threshold, trigger, control, and discharge pins. We focus on the two most commonly taught and used configurations. External RC networks define timing. Concept / Approach: In monostable mode (one-shot), a trigger initiates a single output pulse whose width depends on R and C. In astable mode, the device self-oscillates, creating a square/rectangular wave with frequency and duty cycle set by two resistors and a capacitor. These are the two classic textbook modes demonstrated in most datasheets and labs. Step-by-Step Solution: Monostable: output HIGH for t = 1.1 * R * C after trigger; then returns LOW.Astable: charges/discharges C between 1/3 VCC and 2/3 VCC via RA and RB; period T ≈ 0.693 * (RA + 2RB) * C.Both require only a handful of passive components and no clock source. Verification / Alternative check: Datasheets and application notes show standard reference schematics for both modes. A bistable (latch) configuration is also possible, but less common as a primary “timer” mode compared to the two classics. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Monostable, bistable: Bistable is possible, but the canonical pair is astable + monostable. Astable, toggled: “Toggled” is not a standard 555 timing mode name. Bistable, tristable: “Tristable” is not a 555 mode. Common Pitfalls: Ignoring output drive limits at high frequency or large loads. Not decoupling the supply; the 555 can inject noise without proper bypassing. Final Answer: astable, monostable

Question 4

555 timer in astable mode (square-wave generator) Given the standard frequency formula for a 555 in astable mode, f = 1.44 / ((R1 + 2R2) * C1). What value of C1 is required if R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 1 kΩ, and the desired output frequency f = 1 kHz?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The 555 timer integrated circuit configured in astable mode is a classic way to generate a continuous square wave. Its oscillation frequency depends on two resistors (R1 and R2) and one timing capacitor (C1). This problem checks your ability to apply the standard astable frequency formula and solve for the unknown capacitance to hit a target frequency. Given Data / Assumptions: Astable 555 configuration. R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 1 kΩ. Target frequency f = 1 kHz. Use the ideal formula f = 1.44 / ((R1 + 2R2) * C1). Concept / Approach: The 555 charges C1 through R1 + R2 and discharges through R2, which leads to a duty cycle > 50% for equal resistors and the well-known frequency expression. Rearranging the formula allows direct computation of C1 for any chosen R1, R2, and f. Always keep units consistent (ohms, farads, hertz). Step-by-Step Solution: Start from f = 1.44 / ((R1 + 2R2) * C1).Solve for C1: C1 = 1.44 / (f * (R1 + 2R2)).Insert values: R1 + 2R2 = 1000 + 21000 = 3000 Ω.Compute denominator: f * (R1 + 2R2) = 1000 * 3000 = 3.0 * 10^6.C1 = 1.44 / 3.0 * 10^6 = 4.8 * 10^-7 F = 0.48 µF. Verification / Alternative check: If C1 = 0.48 µF, then (R1 + 2R2) * C1 = 3000 * 4.8 * 10^-7 = 1.44 * 10^-3. Finally f = 1.44 / 1.44 * 10^-3 ≈ 1000 Hz, confirming the result. Why Other Options Are Wrong: 0.33 µF: Yields f ≈ 1.45 kHz, higher than required. 480 µF: Off by a factor of 10^6; would produce millihertz frequency. 33 nF: Gives f ≈ 14.5 kHz, far too high. 4.8 µF: Gives f ≈ 100 Hz, too low by a factor of 10. Common Pitfalls: Mixing µF and F; always convert µF to 10^-6 F for calculations. Forgetting the 2*R2 term in the formula. Rounding too early; keep sufficient precision until the final step. Final Answer: 0.48 µF

Question 5

S–R (Set–Reset) flip-flop disadvantage Which of the following is a key disadvantage of the basic S–R flip-flop (latch) implementation?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The basic S–R flip-flop (or latch) is the simplest bistable memory element formed by cross-coupling two gates. While educational and useful, it suffers from a well-known drawback: a forbidden input combination that produces an indeterminate state. Understanding this limitation is crucial before moving to improved devices such as the J-K or D flip-flops. Given Data / Assumptions: S–R latch realized with NOR gates (forbidden S = R = 1) or NAND gates (forbidden S = R = 0). Cross-coupled feedback holds state when inputs are inactive. No clocking; we are referring to the basic level-sensitive latch behavior. Concept / Approach: With cross-coupled logic, asserting both inputs simultaneously forces both internal nodes toward the same logic level, violating the requirement that Q and Q̄ be complements. After releasing the inputs, the final state can be unpredictable due to imbalances and propagation delays. This is often described as a forbidden or race condition, and is the main disadvantage of the simple S–R latch. Step-by-Step Explanation: NOR S–R: S = 1 and R = 1 drive both outputs LOW at the gate outputs before inversion, leading to Q = 0 and Q̄ = 0 (invalid).NAND S–R: S = 0 and R = 0 force both outputs HIGH, yielding Q = 1 and Q̄ = 1 (invalid).When the forbidden combination is removed, slight differences in delays decide which side wins, producing an indeterminate final state. Verification / Alternative check: Truth tables of S–R latches always include a row flagged as “forbidden” or “invalid.” Simulation tools reproduce the metastability risk if both inputs are asserted together. Why Other Options Are Wrong: No Enable input (a) and no clock input (c) are design choices; gated/clocked S–R variants exist. Single output (d) is incorrect; S–R latches provide complementary outputs Q and Q̄. Cannot be built from universal gates (e) is false; NAND/NOR gates are universal and commonly used. Common Pitfalls: Confusing the S–R forbidden condition with the J–K flip-flop’s race-around problem. Assuming hardware will consistently resolve to the same state after a forbidden input; it may vary with temperature and timing. Final Answer: It has a RACE/forbidden condition when both inputs are asserted.

Question 6

Astable multivibrator behavior Which statement best describes an astable multivibrator circuit?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Multivibrators are foundational timing and waveform-generation circuits. Understanding the differences among monostable (one-shot), bistable (flip-flop), and astable (free-running) forms is crucial in digital design and signal generation. The astable multivibrator is the go-to choice when a continuous clock or square wave is needed without external triggers. Given Data / Assumptions: No external trigger required once power is applied. Feedback network ensures periodic switching between states. Waveform is typically a rectangular/square wave whose period is set by R and C components. Concept / Approach: An astable multivibrator has no stable state; it continually oscillates between two quasi-stable states. This continuous toggling yields a repetitive output signal whose frequency and duty cycle are determined by component values. Implementations include transistor cross-coupled designs and IC solutions such as the 555 in astable mode or CMOS inverters with RC feedback. Step-by-Step Explanation: Power up the circuit; internal RC timing begins charging toward a threshold.Once a threshold is crossed, the regenerative feedback flips the output state.The alternative RC path now charges/discharges toward the opposite threshold.This repeating process creates a continuous, free-running output waveform. Verification / Alternative check: Measuring the output with an oscilloscope shows a periodic waveform without any external trigger event. Changing R or C shifts the period and, depending on topology, the duty cycle. Why Other Options Are Wrong: “Two stable states” describes a bistable (flip-flop), not an astable. “Free-running” alone is incomplete; it must also produce a continuous output. “Requires a trigger” describes a monostable one-shot, not an astable. Common Pitfalls: Confusing “astable” with “unstable”; astable is intentionally designed to oscillate. Assuming duty cycle is always 50%; many astables have asymmetric charge/discharge paths. Final Answer: is free-running and produces a continuous output signal

Question 7

Terminology check: another name for a one-shot multivibrator Which term is equivalent to a one-shot circuit?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Timing circuits are often categorized by how many stable states they possess. A one-shot produces a single, time-controlled pulse when triggered and then returns to its stable state. Recognizing the alternate names helps when reading datasheets and textbooks across different regions and eras. Given Data / Assumptions: A “one-shot” has exactly one stable state and one quasi-stable state. The circuit requires a trigger to initiate the output pulse. After a set time, it returns to the stable state without further input. Concept / Approach: “Monostable” literally means one stable state. Triggering causes a temporary excursion to a quasi-stable state for a defined interval (set by RC or other timing elements). When the interval ends, the circuit relaxes back to its stable state. 555 timers in monostable mode are a common implementation. Step-by-Step Explanation: Apply a trigger → output transitions to the quasi-stable state.Timing network determines the pulse width (e.g., t = 1.1 * R * C for 555 monostable).After the interval, the circuit returns to the original stable state. Verification / Alternative check: Oscilloscope observation shows one output pulse per valid trigger; no oscillation occurs without repeated triggers. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Bistable: two stable states (flip-flop). Astable: no stable state (free-running oscillator). Tristable/multistable: terms not used for one-shot timing behavior. Common Pitfalls: Confusing one-shot with retriggerable monostable; retriggering extends the pulse width. Assuming a one-shot will repeat without new triggers; it will not. Final Answer: monostable

Question 8

Constructing an S–R flip-flop from basic gates A basic S–R flip-flop can be realized by cross-coupling which types of logic gates?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Flip-flops are fundamental memory elements. The simplest form, the S–R latch, is constructed by cross-coupling two logic gates. Recognizing which gate families support this is essential for understanding how memory and feedback are implemented in digital circuits. Given Data / Assumptions: Level-sensitive S–R latch implementation. Cross-coupled feedback provides storage. Ideal logic levels (no hazards considered here). Concept / Approach: Because NAND and NOR gates are universal, cross-coupling them with appropriate input conventions yields an S–R latch. NOR-based latches treat logic HIGH as the active Set/Reset, whereas NAND-based latches treat logic LOW as the active inputs. In both cases, one specific input combination is forbidden (invalid), but normal set, reset, and hold actions are obtained otherwise. Step-by-Step Explanation: Cross-couple the output of each gate to the other gate’s input.Define inputs S and R to force one output state or the other under permitted conditions.Release inputs to allow feedback to maintain (latch) the state. Verification / Alternative check: Truth tables for NAND- and NOR-based S–R latches match the expected set, reset, and hold functions when valid inputs are applied. Why Other Options Are Wrong: AND/OR (a, d, e) cannot, by themselves, provide the needed inversion and feedback polarity for a robust S–R latch. XOR/XNOR (b) are not used for basic S–R latch construction. Common Pitfalls: Mixing the active levels of inputs between NAND and NOR versions. Forgetting the forbidden input case for each version. Final Answer: NOR or NAND gates

Question 9

S–R NAND latch behavior If both inputs of an S–R NAND latch are driven LOW simultaneously, what happens at the outputs?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: NAND-based S–R latches interpret LOW as the active assertion of Set or Reset. Applying LOW to both inputs simultaneously produces a forbidden condition. Understanding this case prevents design errors and metastability in larger systems where latches are sub-elements. Given Data / Assumptions: NAND S–R latch (active-LOW S and R). Both inputs forced LOW at the same time. Standard cross-coupled configuration. Concept / Approach: For a NAND gate, any LOW input forces a HIGH output. With both inputs LOW, each NAND output goes HIGH, momentarily giving Q = 1 and Q̄ = 1, which violates complementarity. When inputs return HIGH, slight asymmetries decide the final latched state, making it unpredictable or indeterminate. Step-by-Step Explanation: Apply S = 0 and R = 0 → both NAND outputs forced HIGH.This creates Q = 1 and Q̄ = 1 (not complementary → invalid).Release inputs back HIGH → due to unequal delays, either side may win → unpredictable final state. Verification / Alternative check: Timing diagrams show both outputs driven HIGH during the forbidden input, then a potentially random resolution after inputs are released, consistent with the latch truth table warning. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Toggle (b) implies deterministic alternation, which does not occur. Reset (c) or no change (d) depend on valid inputs, not on the forbidden case. Complementary outputs (e) contradict the actual simultaneous HIGH outputs during the violation. Common Pitfalls: Confusing NAND and NOR versions; the forbidden combination differs. Assuming hardware will always settle to a preferred state; it may vary each time. Final Answer: The output would become unpredictable (forbidden state).

Question 10

J–K flip-flop terminal naming What is the historical significance of the letters J and K in the J–K flip-flop?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Flip-flop terminal names are often mnemonic or historical. The J–K flip-flop extends the S–R concept to remove the forbidden state and support toggling, so knowing where the names come from is a useful bit of digital design history and helps prevent confusion with operational meanings that are not standardized. Given Data / Assumptions: We are focusing on the origin of the letters J and K. No functional behavior is implied by the letters themselves. The device can be edge-triggered or master-slave in practice. Concept / Approach: The most widely cited explanation is that the J and K letters honor inventors Jack Kilby or other contributors? In many curricula, however, J and K are attributed to designers with initials J and K (Johnson and King) in early literature. Regardless of the exact historical paper cited, the letters do not encode functional acronyms like “jump” or “keep.” Step-by-Step Clarification: Recognize that J/K names are conventional labels, not equations.Reject folk etymologies like “jump/keep” that imply behavior.Accept the conventional historical attribution to initials Johnson and King. Verification / Alternative check: Textbooks commonly state the initials origin and emphasize that behavior is defined by the truth table (set, reset, toggle with K and J combinations under clock control), not by the letter names. Why Other Options Are Wrong: No known significance (a) contradicts common teaching references. “Jump” mnemonic (b) is not a standard or historical acronym. Letter exhaustion (d) is humorous but inaccurate. “Just/keep” (e) is a backronym without basis. Common Pitfalls: Assuming J means “set” and K means “reset” universally; the truth table defines exact actions. Conflating edge-triggered J–K with level-sensitive versions; naming origin is independent of implementation. Final Answer: They are the initials of Johnson and King, the co-inventors of the J–K flip-flop.

Question 11

Why S–R latches stay latched Latches built with NOR or NAND gates tend to hold their state primarily because of which circuit feature?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: A latch stores one bit of information by using positive feedback. In basic digital electronics, cross-coupling two gates creates a self-reinforcing loop that prefers either of two states, thereby providing memory. This question targets the core reason the latch holds its state without continuous input drive. Given Data / Assumptions: Standard S–R latch using NOR or NAND gates. No clocking; level-sensitive behavior. Ideal logic levels assumed. Concept / Approach: The essence of memory here is regenerative feedback—each gate’s output feeds the other’s input. Once a state is reached, the feedback biases the partner gate such that the state is reinforced. This cross coupling is what makes a latch a storage element rather than a simple combinational gate chain. Step-by-Step Explanation: Assert Set or Reset → force a definite output state.Release inputs → the output of each gate sustains the other in its current state.State persists until a valid opposite input is applied. Verification / Alternative check: SPICE or logic simulations show that after the inputs return to their inactive levels, the outputs remain latched. Introducing the opposite valid input flips and then re-latches the state. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Asynchronous operation (a) describes timing, not the storage mechanism. Low input voltages (b) and gate impedance (c) are incidental electrical details, not the reason for memory. Schmitt-trigger inputs (e) add hysteresis/noise immunity but are not necessary for basic latching. Common Pitfalls: Confusing cross coupling with clock gating; latches can be gated, but storage still comes from feedback. Overlooking the forbidden input condition that breaks complementarity. Final Answer: cross coupling

Question 12

Gated D-type latch/flip-flop behavior Which statement correctly describes a gated D-type device when the Enable (or gate) input is active?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: D-type storage elements come in two common forms: level-sensitive gated latches and edge-triggered flip-flops. When discussing a gated D-type device, the hallmark behavior is that the output Q follows the input D while the Enable (gate) input is active, and then holds the last value when the Enable is inactive. Given Data / Assumptions: Enable-controlled D-type device (level sensitive), not an edge-triggered version. Valid logic levels and proper setup/hold with respect to the Enable signal. Complementary output Q̄ exists but is not the primary focus. Concept / Approach: A gated D latch is transparent when enabled: Q = D. When the Enable goes inactive, Q is latched and remains constant regardless of further D changes. This transparency distinguishes it from a positive edge-triggered D flip-flop, where Q changes only on the clock’s leading edge. Step-by-Step Explanation: Enable = active → device transparent → Q follows D.Enable = inactive → device opaque → Q holds last D value.Complement Q̄ = NOT(Q) but does not “follow” D directly. Verification / Alternative check: Timing diagrams show Q mirroring D during the active Enable interval, then flat-lining when the Enable is removed. This is standard behavior in datasheets for transparent latches (e.g., 74HC373/74HC75 families). Why Other Options Are Wrong: (b) The complement follows NOT(D), not D itself; the phrasing is misleading. (c) Refers to multi-input devices like S–R or J–K; not relevant here. (d) Toggle behavior is for T or J–K flip-flops, not D devices. (e) Describes an edge-triggered flip-flop, not a gated latch. Common Pitfalls: Confusing level-sensitive (gated) and edge-triggered behavior. Violating setup/hold time around the Enable edge, which can cause metastability. Final Answer: The Q output is SET or RESET immediately as the D input goes HIGH or LOW (i.e., Q follows D when enabled).

Question 13

Positive edge-triggered D flip-flop operation Which statement best describes how a positive edge-triggered D-type flip-flop transfers data from D to Q?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Edge-triggered flip-flops are the building blocks of synchronous digital systems. A positive edge-triggered D flip-flop samples its data input D precisely at the rising edge of the clock and immediately updates its output Q accordingly, holding that value until the next active edge. This behavior supports precise timing and state sequencing in registers and pipelines. Given Data / Assumptions: Positive edge-triggered topology (rising-edge sensitive). Setup and hold times around the clock edge are satisfied. Single data input D with complementary outputs Q and Q̄. Concept / Approach: Unlike level-sensitive latches, an edge-triggered D flip-flop is insensitive to D during the rest of the clock cycle (beyond setup/hold windows). At the instant of the rising edge, the value on D is captured and immediately appears at Q; it remains held until the next rising edge. Step-by-Step Explanation: Clock low → no change in Q, regardless of D (outside setup/hold).Approach the rising edge → D must be stable for setup/hold timing.At the rising edge → Q takes the current D value.Afterwards → Q holds that value until the next rising edge. Verification / Alternative check: Datasheet timing diagrams show a vertical transfer at the rising edge. Simulation waveforms confirm Q updates only on the leading edge and stays constant otherwise. Why Other Options Are Wrong: (a) Toggle behavior is characteristic of T or J–K devices under specific inputs, not D flip-flops. (c) There is no invalid “both inputs LOW” condition for a single-input D device. (d) Immediate update occurs at the rising edge; there is no delayed transfer to the trailing edge. (e) Continuous updating describes a transparent latch, not an edge-triggered flip-flop. Common Pitfalls: Violating setup/hold times, which can cause metastability. Confusing level-sensitive latches with edge-triggered flip-flops in mixed-clock designs. Final Answer: The output will follow the input on the leading edge of the clock.

Question 14

J–K flip-flop behavior: When both J and K inputs are HIGH (1) during the active clock, what happens to the output state Q of a J–K flip-flop?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: A J–K flip-flop is a versatile synchronous bistable device widely used in counters, frequency dividers, and memory elements. Understanding its response to different input combinations is essential for reliable digital design and timing analysis. Given Data / Assumptions: Synchronous operation with a clock edge controlling state changes. Inputs J = 1 and K = 1 are applied and are stable during the active clock transition. Ideal flip-flop behavior (no setup/hold violations, no metastability). Concept / Approach: The characteristic table of a J–K flip-flop states: J = 0, K = 0 → Q holds; J = 0, K = 1 → Q resets; J = 1, K = 0 → Q sets; J = 1, K = 1 → Q toggles (complements). Thus, when both inputs are asserted, the device complements its present state on each active clock edge. Step-by-Step Solution: Recognize input condition: J = 1 and K = 1.Apply the J–K truth/characteristic behavior: J = K = 1 → next Q = NOT(current Q).Therefore, the output toggles on each qualifying clock edge. Verification / Alternative check: Derive from excitation equations: For toggle action, J = K = 1 satisfies transitions Q → Q̄. Simulation or timing diagram confirms that repeated clock edges produce alternating Q levels 0,1,0,1,… Why Other Options Are Wrong: be invalid: The J–K specifically resolves the “invalid” J = K = 1 problem found in S–R latches; it is defined to toggle. not change / change: “Change” is ambiguous; the defined action is a complement (toggle) on each active edge, not an arbitrary or one-time change. “Not change” is the J = K = 0 case. Common Pitfalls: Confusing J–K with an S–R latch (where S = R = 1 is invalid), or forgetting that toggling only occurs on the clock event, not continuously. Final Answer: toggle
