Digital integrated circuits II
There’s a couple of points to note about this JK-type bistable
symbol:
• operations take place on the falling edge of the applied
clock pulse;
• the last row of the function table shows a bistable
operation known as toggling — in which the output
state changes from whatever state it is, to the other
state. This, you will of course remember — is how the
T-type bistable of Figure 11.12 is created.
And now the time has come...
So with this (fairly detailed) look at digital integrated circuits
and the electronic logic that they comprise, thus ends our
foray into the enjoyable world of electronics. You may feel
as though you’ve learned a lot in the pages of this book and
I trust you’ve had a good time in the process, but hopefully
this is just the beginning of enjoyable times ahead.
Electronics is a much larger area than you’ve seen here, and
there’s much more to discover and much more to do. Indeed,
you could spend literally years reading about electronics, and
designing or building projects, and you still mightn’t know
it all but at least you are on the right track now — you’re
starting electronics…
