Sample Quiz & Solutions
Q1.
Determine the output frequency for a frequency division circuit that contains 12 flip-flops with an
input clock frequency of 20.48 MHz.
A. 10.24 kHz
B. 5 kHz
C. 30.24 kHz
D. 15 kHz
Ans: B
Output frequency = Input Freq./2^N.
Here N is no of filp-flops.
N=12 flip flops = 2^12 = 4096.
=> 20.48*10^6=20480000.
20480000/4096 = 5000 i.e. 5 kHz.
Q2.
Which statement BEST describes the operation of a negative-edge-triggered D flip-flop?
A. The logic level at the D input is transferred to Q on NGT of CLK.
B. The Q output is ALWAYS identical to the CLK input if the D input is HIGH.
C. The Q output is ALWAYS identical to the D input when CLK = PGT.
D. The Q output is ALWAYS identical to the D input.
Ans: A
From the truth table of D flip flop, we can observe that Q always depends on D. Hence for every
negative trigger pulse, the logic at input D is shifted to Output Q.
Q3.
How is a J-K flip-flop made to toggle?
A. J = 0, K = 0
B. J = 1, K = 0 C. J = 0, K = 1
D. J = 1, K = 1
Ans: D
Q4.
How many flip-flops are required to produce a divide-by-128 device?
A. 1
B. 4
C. 6
D. 7
Ans: D
128 equal to 2 power N where Nis the number of flip flops. 128= 2^N or N=7.

Q5.
On a master-slave flip-flop, when is the master enabled?
A. When the gate is LOW
B. When the gate is HIGH
C. Both of the above
D. Neither of the above
Ans: B
Q6.
Which of the following is correct for a gated D flip-flop?
A. The output toggles if one of the inputs is held HIGH.
B. Only one of the inputs can be HIGH at a time.
C. The output complement follows the input when enabled.
D. Q output follows the input D when the enable is HIGH.
Ans: D
Q7.
With four J-K flip-flops wired as an asynchronous counter, the first output change of divider #4
indicates a count of how many input clock pulses?
A. 16
B. 8
C. 4
D. 2
Ans: B
4 asynchronous JK ff requires 4 clk pulses to produce 1 output and again 4 clk pulses to produce 1st
change in the output. Hence a total of 8 clk pulses.
Q8.
To completely load and then unload an 8-bit register requires how many clock pulses?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 8
D. 16
Ans: D
Q9.
The bit sequence 0010 is serially entered (right-most bit first) into a 4-bit parallel out shift register
that is initially clear. What are the Q outputs after two clock pulses?
A. 0000
B. 0010
C. 1000
D. 1111
Ans: C
2
Q10.
The group of bits 11001 is serially shifted (right-most bit first) into a 5-bit parallel output shift
register with an initial state 01110. After three clock pulses, the register contains ________.
A. 01110
B. 00001
C. 00101
D. 00110
Ans: C
