CAPACITORS

• In series:-
• In parallel:-

Contents
RC NETWORKS
• Time Constant.
- Time to charge to 0.63Vs
- Time to discharge to 0.37Vs
• Time to charge to 0.5Vs=0.69RC
• Time to fully charge or discharge
  = 5RC

555 Monostable

T = 1.1 × R × C
- TRIGGER input goes below 1/3Vs,
- OUTPUT goes high and
DISCHARGE switches off,
- C charges through R,
- Until capacitor voltage =2/3Vs (THRESHOLD)
- OUTPUT goes low and
DISCHARGE switches on
- Capacitor discharged.

555 ASTABLE

tH = 0.7(R1 + R2)C
tL = 0.7R2C
T = 0.7(R1 + 2R2)C
- When first switched on, TRIGGER is less than 1/3Vs,
- OUTPUT goes high, DISCHARGE switches off,
- Capacitor charges through R1 and R2,
- Until capacitor voltage = 2/3Vs (THRESHOLD),
- OUTPUT goes low, DISCHARGE switches on,
- Capacitor discharges through R2,
- Until capacitor voltage = 1/3Vs (TRIGGER),
- OUTPUT goes high, process repeats.

BISTABLE LATCH

• When the SET input is briefly taken to logic 0, the Q output will become logic 1 and the output will become logic 0.
• When the RESET input is now briefly taken to logic 0, Q will become logic 0 and the output will become logic 1.
Contents
D-TYPE FLIP-FLOP

- S sets Q to 1
- R resets Q to 0
- Independent of the state of CK.
- On the rising edge of CK, Q is set to the logic state of D.
Contents
DATA LATCH

- Enables data to be outputted from data bus.
- Processor sets valid data onto data bus and then pulses CK high.
- Data captured and stored in latches.
- One flip-flop needed per bit.
Contents
SHIFT REGISTER

• On the rising edge of each clock pulse, the data from a D-type flip-flop is stored in the next D-type flip-flop.
• This data transfer occurs all of the way along the shift register.
• Data from the output of the last flip-flop is lost.
• New data applied to the input of the first flip-flop is taken into the shift register.

÷ 2 COUNTER

To make a flip-flop toggle:-
- S and R are connected to 0
- D is connected to
- The D input is then always opposite to Q
- So toggling occurs on each successive clock pulse.

Contents
4-bit COUNTER

- D to
- All Resets joined together
- CK to previous Q for down counter and for an up counter
- All resets joined together and connected to 0
Contents
MODULO-n COUNTER

- Only up-counters.
- AND gate output connected to reset.
- AND gate inputs connected to appropriate Q outputs.
- 5, Q0 & Q2
- 6, Q1 & Q2
- 10, Q1 & Q3
- 12, Q2 & Q3
