SR Flip-flop
A basic type of sequential logic circuit used for storing a single bit of data.
It has two inputs:
| S | R | Q | Q’ | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | No Change | No Change | Holds the previous state |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | Resets the output to 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Sets the output to 1 |
| 1 | 1 | Undefined | Undefined | Invalid state |
Characteristics
