The document discusses the master-slave D flip-flop, focusing on both negative and positive edge triggering, as well as preset and clear implementations. It explains circuits that utilize D flip-flops, such as data latches and edge detection mechanisms. Key aspects include the behavior of preset and clear signals that affect the output independently of other inputs.

Preset and Clear Signals: D Flip-Flop
 Preset and Clear are Active low signals, force Q to 1 and 0

Preset and Clear Signals: D Flip-Flop
 Preset and Clear are asynchronous signals which force Q to
one and zero
 They are independent of the other synchronous input signals
D and CLK
 Useful to force or initialize the flip-flops with either 0 or 1

Circuits using D-Flip-flops

Example 1: 4-bit Data Latch
 A data latch can be used as a device to hold or remember the
data present on its data input
◦ Thereby each D-Flip-flop acts like a single bit memory device

Example 2: Detecting the Sequence of Edges
 Here, D flip-flop is used to detect whether a positive-
going edge A follows or precedes another positive-
going edge B.
 If A happens before B:
 If A happens after B:
