Lab 7 – The JK FF 1

Lab 7 J-K FF Objectives The following are objectives of this lab:

Use various conditions to test the characteristics of the J-K flip-flop. Included in the procedures are various asynchronous and synchronous input modes.

Materials Needed

1. 74LS76 dual J-K flip-flop 2. LEDs: (1) red, (1) green, (1) yellow 3. Resistors: (3) 330Ω, (4) 1.0 kΩ 4. One 4-position DIP switch 5. Function Generator / Oscilloscope / Leads / KeySight BenchVue software

Background The J-K flip-flop is a clocked S-R flip-flop with additional circuitry to replace the invalid state of S = 1, R = 1. The new mode when J = 1 and K = 1 is called toggle. The toggle state causes the flip- flop to change state to the opposite state if both S and R equal 1. Tables 7-1 a, b, and c below give the states for each type of flip flop for all states of input.

The J-K FF will be used in this lab to demonstrate its unique capabilities.

Lab 7 – The JK FF 2

Procedure 1. Turn on computer and locate KeySight BenchVue software.

Turn on the Oscilloscope (reads outputs) / Function Generator (clock input). (You may need T.A. or instructor assistance) Construct the circuit of Figure 7-1 below. Set 𝑃𝑅𝐸̅̅ ̅̅ ̅̅ and 𝐶𝐿𝑅̅̅ ̅̅ ̅̅ to a logic 1. Connect the TTL signal from the function generator and set frequency to 1 Hz. Using the BenchVue software, save a screenshot of the input (Channel 1) and output, 𝑄, (Channel 2) for all combinations of J and K. Label all screenshots appropriately.

REQUIRED SUBMITTAL: You will NOT turn in this handout!!! You will do a formal lab report including the following sections: OBJECTIVE (Sentence format. Be thorough!) DATA –Use Multisim to create the circuits constructed in Figure 7-1, 7-2 and 7-3. Give each circuit a meaningful name that explains their function. Include labeled screenshots taken in the course of the lab (these should have labels similar to the circuit labels). DISCUSSION – (Sentence / Paragraph format) Discuss the operation and/or function performed by each of the (3) flip-flop circuits by analysis of the outputs.
