Race around condition in digital circuits occur when the final state of the output depends on how the inputs arrive.ĭigital circuits have inherent delays. PS googling for the appropriate pictures I got them from How 1-bit was stored in Flip flop? :) Obviously the first latch is still susceptible to the same race condition. Such a transition can occur (due to the delay caused by the inverter) when the D input changes simultaenously with the CLK input changing from 1 to 0.Ī real clocked (edge-triggered) memory circuit can be thought of consisting of two latches, enabled by the opposite clock levels (master-slave arrangement). In this circuit, a simulatenous 00 -> 11 transition of the hidden 'inputs' of the cross-coupled NANDS still causes a race condition.

A level-triggered circuit (I would call that a Latch) can be thought of as a RS-FF with both inputs gated by the enable input (CLK in this diagram): The explanation stated is for a simple Set-Reset FF (or latch, or how you want to call it). Now the effects of the two changes are 'racing' for priority. The race condition is that, from a 00 input state, one input changes to 0, and the second one also changes to 0 before the effect of the first change has setteled. In some cases neither wins immediatyely, and the FF enters the metastable state. When the other input also turns 1 while the propagation from the first is still taking place, that also starts to propagate, and it is anyone's guess which one will win. In normal operation, from 00 input, one input becomes 1, and the feedback loop in the flipflop propagates this (or rather, the remaining 0 input) through both gates, until the FF is in a stable state. The time required to settle is unbounded, but has a distribution that quickly falls off for t > gate-delay. In this state the outputs can either slowly drift towards their final sate, or show a damped oscillation before settling on the final state. This is the classical memory effect of a FF.īut if it was 00 and both inputs changed to 1 suffiently close to each other in time, the FF can enter a metastable state, which can last significantly longer than the delay time of the gates. The state of the FF depends on which state came before the 11, if it was 01 the FF is in Q=1 state, if it was 10 the FF is in the Q=0 state. The 'fun' is in the S=1 R=1 input, the memory situation. A standard S-R FF (two cross-coupled NAND or NOR gates) is stable for any stable input.

The output of the T flip-flop “toggles” with each clock pulse.A race condition is a timing-related pheonomenon. As shown in figure, the T flip-flop is obtained from the JK type if both inputs are tied together. The T flip-flop is a single input version of the JK flip-flop. Inputs J and K behave like inputs S and R to set and clear the flip-flop (note that in a JK flip-flop, the letter J is for set and the letter K is for clear). If it is 0, the flip-flop switches to the clear state.Ī JK flip-flop is a refinement of the SR flip-flop in that the indeterminate state of the SR type is defined in the JK type. If it is 1, the flip-flop is switched to the set state (unless it was already set).

The D input is sampled during the occurrence of a clock pulse. The D input goes directly into the S input and the complement of the D input goes to the R input. The D flip-flop shown in figure is a modification of the clocked SR flip-flop.

SR Flipflop truth table VHDL Code for SR FlipFlop library ieee This type of flip-flop is referred to as an SR flip-flop. Each flip-flop has two outputs, Q and Q’, and two inputs, set and reset. A flip-flop circuit can be constructed from two NAND gates or two NOR gates.
