Device Operation

The SR flip flop is similar to a JK flip flop except that the output is UNKNOWN when both S and R inputs are high. In a JK the output toggles in the same circumstances.

The following table describes the operation of the device when both inputs are at known states: The output can only change on a positive edge on the clock.

S input R input Output
0 0 No change
0 1 0
1 0 1
1 1 UNKNOWN
When either input is UNKNOWN, the situation is more complicated. There are some circumstances when a known state can be clocked to the output even if one of the inputs is unknown. The following table describes the operation for possible input states. X means UNKNOWN.
