jk flip flop

[teng125]

does anybody knows how to read the table or has any explanation for jk flip flop??any website recommended pls.........

Just check out the datasheet for a typical JK FF. It should have what you need. Here's a link to the Texas Instruments 74HC112 datasheet on Jameco's website:

That flip flop is probably a little more complicated than what he needs since it includes "pre" and "clr" inputs. The wikipedia article has a slightly simpler one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_%28electronics%29
(the J-K flip flop truth table halfway down the page)

The flip flop has 2 inputs, J and K (and also the clock). It remembers what the output Q was previously. On a clock edge, if J and K are 0, then the output Q remains unchanged. If J and K are 1, then the output Q flips from a 0 to a 1 or from a 1 to a 0. If K is 1 and J is 0, Q is set to 0, and if K is 0 and J is 1, Q is set to 1.

What helped me was understanding fully basic idea of flip-flop and what S-R ff does, then J-K is just S-R with only difference in 11 input, where S-R goes unstable while J-K toggles (complements current state).

EDIT:
But basically, as was said above: Q' is what you are "concerned" about, i.e. next state. Q' is a ff-particular function that depends on inputs J and K and present state Q. In other words, D and JK ff react (or have Q' function) differently to the same inputs and current state Q.
