Note: The SR flip-flop is also known as a 1-bit memory, as it comes with an ability to store the input pulse even after it has been passed. The basic difference between a latch and a flip-flop is a clocking process.
The latch is asynchronous where outputs are drastically influenced by the slight change in inputs. On the other hand, SR latch is synchronous where output changes as you give an active clock signal. JK Flip Flops is widely used in electronic circuits with the main aim to store the state information of the device.
Following are the major applications it can be used for. If you have any question, you can ask me in the comment section below.

Why called JK flip-flop? Thread starter bittware Start date Oct 17, Status Not open for further replies. J stands for what? SphinX Advanced Member level 3. The JK flip flop was named after Jack Kilby, the Texas Instruments engineer that invented the integrated circuit in The modified RS circuit that eliminated race conditions was named JK in his honor. Search for "JK" and "Jack Kilby" simultaneously to see multiple sources for this.
Similar is the word quiescence. A lot of words in physics come from Latin and Greek languages. To scientists and scholars it is an obsession. Nothing else. Just humans. They differ slightly from some of the definitions given below. Lindley explains that he heard the story of the JK flip-flop from Dr. Eldred Nelson, who is responsible for coining the term while working at Hughes Aircraft. Flip-flops in use at Hughes at the time were all of the type that came to be known as J-K.
In designing a logical system, Dr. Nelson used the notations "j-input" and "k-input" in a patent application filed in If you look halfway down column 13 of this patent filed in Granted you will see mention of inputs to a flip flop called J and K. This patent pre-dates Jack Kilby's time at TI by 5 years: -. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
