PinSignalDirectionFunction
11CLR# InputInput Asynchronous clear. LOW forces Q LOW and Q# HIGH if PRE# is HIGH.
21D InputInput Data sampled on the rising CLK edge when both asynchronous controls are HIGH.
31CLK InputInput Positive-edge clock. Meet the HIGH and LOW pulse widths and the D setup and hold times.
41PRE# InputInput Asynchronous preset. LOW forces Q HIGH and Q# LOW if CLR# is HIGH.
51Q OutputOutput Non-inverting stored output. A power-up state is unspecified until an asynchronous control or a valid clock edge sets it.
61Q# OutputOutput Complementary stored output during normal operation. Both outputs are HIGH if PRE# and CLR# are both LOW.
7GND ReferenceReference Supply return and reference for all input and output levels.
82Q# OutputOutput Complementary stored output during normal operation. Both outputs are HIGH if PRE# and CLR# are both LOW.
92Q OutputOutput Non-inverting stored output. A power-up state is unspecified until an asynchronous control or a valid clock edge sets it.
102PRE# InputInput Asynchronous preset. LOW forces Q HIGH and Q# LOW if CLR# is HIGH.
112CLK InputInput Positive-edge clock. Meet the HIGH and LOW pulse widths and the D setup and hold times.
122D InputInput Data sampled on the rising CLK edge when both asynchronous controls are HIGH.
132CLR# InputInput Asynchronous clear. LOW forces Q LOW and Q# HIGH if PRE# is HIGH.
14VCC SupplySupply Connect to a regulated 5 V rail. Place a local bypass capacitor to GND.

Signal assignments

Flip-flop 1

With PRE# and CLR# HIGH, Q captures D at CLK↑ and Q# is its complement. Hold CLK steady to retain state. Either asynchronous input overrides the clock. Do not assert both at once: both outputs go HIGH and the state after simultaneous release is indeterminate.

Flip-flop 2

With PRE# and CLR# HIGH, Q captures D at CLK↑ and Q# is its complement. Hold CLK steady to retain state. Either asynchronous input overrides the clock. Do not assert both at once: both outputs go HIGH and the state after simultaneous release is indeterminate.
