🔍 Key Concepts

• JK flip-flop operation when J and K are tied to logic "1" • How the output waveforms Q0–Q3 relate in frequency to the clock pulses • Difference between a counter, a shift register, and a multivibrator

💭 Think About

• Look at how often each output Q0, Q1, Q2, and Q3 changes state compared to the clock input. What pattern do you see? • Starting from pulse 1, write the Q0–Q3 states as 0s and 1s under each clock pulse. What sequence of 4‑bit values is being produced? • Ask yourself: is any signal being shifted along the flip‑flops, or is the circuit mainly dividing the clock frequency and stepping through a sequence of binary states?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that J and K are both tied high on each flip‑flop and recall what that does on every active clock edge. • Confirm whether each successive Q output changes at half the frequency of the previous stage. • Check if the 4 outputs together form a repeating binary sequence rather than a single free‑running square wave or an analog amplification.
