Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the operation of D latches and D flip-flops, highlighting their behavior during clock transitions. In D latches, when the clock is high, the output Q follows the input D, while it freezes when the clock goes low. For D flip-flops, the master latch is transparent when the clock is low, storing the input value, and the slave latch becomes transparent at the rising edge, passing the stored value to the output. The user questions whether only the rising and falling edges of the clock are significant for analyzing the output waveforms, particularly regarding changes during hold and setup times. Understanding these timing aspects is crucial for proper circuit design and analysis.

Homework Statement


Hello,



I am thinking about the operation of the D latches and Flip Flops. I know
the operation of Latch :
When clock is hi:
-Q follows D in simple combinational behaviour
- D/Q path is transperant ( what I think it means what is on D can be seen on Q) ?
At the transition from hi to low
- Q output frozen
-Non - combinational behaviour, Q ignores D intput changes.

Flip Flop :
When clock is low:
- the 'master' is transperant
-slave retained memorized output

At the transition low- hi:
-master stores input,slave transperant
-slave passes master stored value to the output
-'Data in' sampled at the rising clock edge, stored and passed to 'Data out'

My question is about the graphs under the diagrams. Should I take care only on the rising and folling edges of the clock ? Does it what only matters , I mean the values of D and Q on the rising and folling edges? If so, why the output waveform is like this, I mean it is changing during the hold, setup time ?

Thanks

In a D flip flop the output only changes on a rising clock edge.
