Advantages of JK Flip-Flop

What is JK Flip-Flop?

It is one kind of sequential logic circuit which stores binary information in bitwise manner. It consists of two inputs and two outputs. Inputs are Set(J) & Reset(K) and their corresponding outputs are Q and Q’. JK flipflop has two modes of operation which are synchronous mode and asynchronous mode. In synchronous mode, the state will be changed with the clock(clk) signal, and in asynchronous mode, the change of state is independent from its clock signal. Let’s see its diagram structure....

Applications of JK Flip-Flop

We can simply implement a JK-flipflop using NAND gates. In that case two NAND gates need to be connected together and the output of that will be feed to the input which will create a stable state-holding circuit. The resulting circuit will be the NAND gate. So, by following this mechanism we can develop and use JK-flipflop for various application which are listed below....

Advantages of JK Flip-Flop

Versatility: As discussed above, JK-flipflops can be used as a basic memory element or a primary building block of further complex memory design. It is very much adaptive as it can be operated in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. Toggle Functionality: The application which are required to get output as its complement of input that also can be developed by JK-flipflops as when J=K=1 it triggers toggle state which gives output which is complement with it’s each clock pulse. Error Detection and Correction: We can use a complex circuit built by JK-flipflops which can detect and correct information during data-transmission....

Disadvantages of JK Flip-Flop

Complexity: Compared to other types of flipflops(D,T, SR), JK flipflop requires additional logic gates to implement which consumes extra memory resources and increases complexity to operate. Propagation Delay: This is the major problem present in JK-FF. Propagation delay results a timing delay in certain application which are time-flow sensitive. Race Problem: This issue arises when the clock input’s timing pulse isn’t given enough time to turn “Off” before the output Q’s state is altered....
