For the circuit shown in the figure, D has a transition from 0 to 1 after CLK changes from 1 to 0. Assume gate delays to be negligible. Which of the following statements is true?

  1. (A) Q goes to 1 at the CLK transition and stays at 1.
  2. (B) Q goes to 0 at the CLK transition and stays at 0.
  3. (C) Q goes to 1 at the CLK transition and goes to 0 when D goes to 1.
  4. (D) Q goes to 0 at the CLK transition and goes to 1 when D goes to 1.

Correct answer: (D) Q goes to 0 at the CLK transition and goes to 1 when D goes to 1.

Solution

The correct option is (D) because when the clock transitions from 1 to 0, the output Q captures the current state of D, which is 0. After this transition, when D changes to 1, Q will then update to reflect this new value.
