Concept:

D Flip-flop

The truth table of the D flip-flop is given by:

D

Q(t + 1)

Remarks

0

0

Reset

1

1

Set

 

The characteristic equation of the D flip-flop is:

Q(t + 1) = D

Analysis:

From the given configuration the input of the flip-flop is:

D = Q’

The below table shows the outputs for the corresponding inputs to the flip-flop.

Let the initial input be 0, that is D = 0 then Q = 0 and Q’ = 1

Clock

D = Q’

The output sequence is 0 1 0 1 0 1 ⋯

The output sequence is repeating after every two clock pulses. So, the counter value is 2.

The given configuration of the flip-flop represents the 1 – bit counter.
