Flip-Flop in Digital Electronics: Types, Truth Table, Logic Circuit and Practical Demonstration
What is a Flip-Flop in Digital
Electronics?
A flip-flop is a bistable device that stores one bit of data.
Defined as: "A bistable device with synchronous inputs
that changes state only at specified transitions of a
clock signal" — IEEE 91/1984.
Key features:
Maintains state (0 or 1) until the next clock transition.
Enables memory, state control, and synchronization in
digital circuits.
FLIP-FLOP VS LATCH
KEY DIFFERENCES
Feature Latch Flip-Flop
Trigger Type Level-triggered Edge-triggered
Control Signal Enable/Gate Clock
Timing Sensitivity Immediate Clock-synchronized
Design Simpler Slightly complex
Stability Less stable More stable
Usage Simple memory Registers, FSMs
Types of Flip-Flops in Digital
Electronics
Set input = 1 →Output
becomes 1 (stores 1).
Reset input = 1 →Output
becomes 0 (clears it).
S = R = 0 →Output holds
previous value (no
change).
S = R = 1 →Invalid
condition (not allowed in
basic SR).
Used in simple memory
circuits for on/off states
Q - Output
Q - output inverted
Types of Flip-Flops in Digital
Electronics
Only one input (D)
controls output value.
On clock edge, output
becomes equal to D
input.
No invalid state like
SR; safer to use.
Stores one stable bit
on each clock pulse.
Used in shift registers
and memory units.
Q - Output
Q - output inverted
Q - Output
Q - output inverted
Types of Flip-Flops in Digital
Electronics
J = 1, K = 0 →Sets
output to 1.
J = 0, K = 1 →Resets
output to 0.
J = K = 0 →Output stays
the same.
J = K = 1 →Output
toggles (flips to
opposite value).
Used in counters,
registers, and control
circuits.
Q - Output
Q - output inverted
Types of Flip-Flops in Digital
Electronics
T = 0 →No change in
output.
T = 1 →Output flips on
every clock pulse.
Very useful for binary
counting and frequency
division.
Can be made using JK
flip-flop with J = K = T.
Common in digital
clocks and frequency
counters.
Q - Output
Q - output inverted

Common Applications
SR Flip-Flop
S (Set), R
(Reset)
Stores 1 (Set) or 0
(Reset)
No
Yes (S = R =
HIGH)
Simple control circuits,
basic memory units
D Flip-Flop D (Data)
Locks input at
clock edge
No No
Registers, data latches,
CPU pipelines
JK Flip-Flop J, K
Improved SR; adds
toggle ability
Yes No
Counters, frequency
dividers, control logic
T Flip-Flop
T
(Toggle)
Toggles output on
every clock edge
Yes No
Binary counters, toggle
switches, blinking LEDs
Applications of Flip-Flops
Data Storage
Counters & Timers
Shift Registers
State Machines
Debouncing Circuits
Frequency Division
