CONVERSION OF AN SR-FLIP FLOP TO A JK-FLIP FLOP

This article presents a design method to convert a conventional SR-Flip Flop to perform the functions of a corresponding conventional JK-Flip Flop. This requirement becomes very necessary because of the many applications of JK-Flip Flops in digital systems, especially in those systems that drive production industries. In such industries, uninterrupted production is one of the targets required to pay attention to in order not to lose production and consequently revenue. Equipment failure can be responsible for such an unwanted state of production. Therefore, downtime of any equipment becomes very crucial in the assurance procedure of associated equipment and instrumentation of a manufacturing plant. The cause of a large downtime of any equipment is mainly due to unavailability of spare parts and sometimes incompetence and inexperience of the technologists responsible for the up-keep and assurance of these equipment and instrumentation. Technologists must be versatile in providing alternative solutions to existing provisions that is adequate to solve any prevailing situation which requires urgent attention to keep production going.
