Why are flip flops(electronics)(SR, JK, T, and D) named so?

Question

i have the theory and working of different flip flops... i know that SR stands for set reset and T stands for toggle... what do jk and d stand for?

Answer 1

"SR" stands for "Set/Reset" (as you said), "JK" is an arbitrary designation, "T" stands for "toggle" (as you said), and "D" stands for "delay".

The different types of flip flops are designed to operate differently depending on what you need them to do in your circuit. An SR flip flop either sets (=1) or resets (=0) the output (Q) depending on the state of the "S" and "R" inputs. The JK flip flop is too complicated to explain here. A "T" flip flop toggles the output (Q) on the next rising edge of the clock if the "T" input is high. A "D" flip flop passes the bit on the "D" input to the output (Q) on the rising edge of the next clock pulse.

Answer 2

d stands for "data", which means the signal at d is transferred to the "Q" output at the next clock pulse.

j,k are arbitrary designations for a flip-flop with two data inputs. The signal at j is transferred to the Q output, the signal at k to the Q-bar output on the clock pulse.

Flip-flop refers to a two-state device whose output can change state (flip or flop) with a clock signal.

Answer 3

Because when you send a control pulse, the "stored" value flip flops. That is, if the value is 1, a control pulse changes it to 0. If the value is 0, a control pulse changes it to 1.
