Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What must synchronous control inputs be used in conjunction with to trigger a flip flop circuit?
A
Clock signal
B
Set state
C
Reset state
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The normal data inputs to a flip flop (D, S and R, or J and K) are referred to as synchronous inputs because they have an effect on the outputs (Q and not-Q) only in step, or in sync, with the clock signal transitions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The circuit is controlled by the synchronising clock signal and the memory is realised with edge-triggered flip-flops, changes taking place on either the leading or trailing edge of a clock pulse.

Detailed explanation-3: -The flip-flop can be triggered by a raising edge (0->1, or positive edge trigger) or falling edge (1->0, or negative edge trigger).

Detailed explanation-4: -Asynchronous inputs are those inputs that can affect the output state of the flip-flop independent of a clock or timing pulse. Synchronous inputs do not have direct control of the output. They can only affect the output in conjunction with a clock pulse.
