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?
- (A) Q goes to 1 at the CLK transition and stays at 1.
- (B) Q goes to 0 at the CLK transition and stays at 0.
- (C) Q goes to 1 at the CLK transition and goes to 0 when D goes to 1.
- (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.
