Master Slave Flip-Flop (S-R)

\includegraphics[width=3.5in]{lec16figs/M2.eps}

When $ S=1$, $ R=1$, $ Q$ and $ \overline{Q}$ are both 1. Therefore, it is an undefined condition. This can be eliminated by proper feedback.

for the above circuit, the truth table is

$ J$ $ K$ $ Q_{n+1}$
1 1 $ \overline{Q_n}$
0 1 0
1 0 1
0 0 $ Q_n$

The problem with the circuit shown above is that when clock =1, the feedback will cause oscillatinons and when clock goes zero, the predicting the ouput state is difficult. On the other hand, master slave configuration does not allow oscillation.
