The Use of A Simple Methodology for Flip Flop Conversion in a Digital Systems Design
Overview Most digital systems textbooks treat the topic of converting one flip flop to another by simply giving the student certain simple conversion circuits, such as the use of an inverter between the R and S inputs of an RS flip flop to form a D flip flop, or tying together the inputs of a JK flip flop to make a T flip flop. However, a more general, but very simple, methodology for flip flop conversion has advantages when used to teach synchronous sequential circuits to students in a digital systems course. The use of this methodology removes a source of student confusion and allows the student to practice certain standard flip flop techniques before the student is required to use those techniques in a more general sequential circuit analysis. A digital systems design course is required in both electrical/computer engineering and computer science curricula.
