Description

The JK flip flop is the most versatile of the basic flip-flops. It has two inputs traditionally labeled J (Set) and K (Reset).

• When the inputs J and K are different, the output Q takes the value of J at the next falling edge.
• When the inputs J and K are both low, no change occurs in the output state.
• When the inputs are both high the output Q will toggle from one state to other. It can perform the functions of the set/reset (SR) flip-flop and has the advantage that there are no ambiguous states.

The !Q output is the logical negation of Q

It can also act as a T flip-flop to accomplish toggling action if J and K are tied together. This toggle application finds extensive use in binary counters.

The user can set the initial output state with Initial Value parameter.

The truth table of this block is:

Hold Reset Set Toggle where * `Q n-1 `* is the previous state of * `Q n `* .

Data types

The block supports the following types :

• Inputs:

  • J: scalar. Scilab’s int8 data type only.
  • clk: scalar. Scilab’s real double.
  • K: scalar. Scilab’s int8 data type only.

  A positive input is considered as logical 1, a negative or a null input as logical 0.

• Outputs: scalar. Scilab’s int8 data type.

Dialog box

• Initial Value Initial state of the Q output. Properties : Type ‘vec’ of size 1.

Default properties

• always active: no
• direct-feedthrough: yes
• zero-crossing: no
• mode: no
• regular inputs: - port 1 : size [1,1] / type 5 - port 2 : size [1,1] / type 1 - port 3 : size [1,1] / type 5
• regular outputs: - port 1 : size [1,1] / type 5 - port 2 : size [1,1] / type 5
• number/sizes of activation inputs: 0
• number/sizes of activation outputs: 0
• continuous-time state: no
• discrete-time state: no
• object discrete-time state: no
• name of computational function: csuper

Example

The following example builds a 3 bits asynchronous counter with JK flipflops wired as T flipflops. You can show on the right the timing diagram of the * `Q 0 `* to * `Q 2 `* outputs of counter. `Open this example in Xcos`_
