What is the significance of the J and K terminals on the J-K flip-flop?

Post by answerhappygod »

a) There is no known significance in their designations
b) The J represents “jump,” which is how the Q output reacts whenever the clock goes high and the J input is also HIGH
c) The letters were chosen in honour of Jack Kilby, the inventory of the integrated circuit
d) All of the other letters of the alphabet are already in use
