The D type flip-flop
has only one input (D for Data) apart from the clock.
The INDETERMINATE state is avoided with this flip-flop. When the clock goes high, D (a 0 or a 1) is transferred to Q. When the clock goes low, Q remains unchanged. Q stores the data until the clock goes high again, when new data may be available. |
At A, clock and data are
high.
Q goes high and stays high until B. At B, clock is high and data
is low.
At C, clock and data are
both high.
At E, data is low, so Q goes low. At F, data is high so Q goes
high.
