A D-flip-flop is said to be transparent in case the output

Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs

A D-flip-flop is said to be transparent in case the output:

1. Follows clock
2. Is LOW
3. Follows input
4. Is HIGH

Correct answer: 3. Follows input

Explanation:

• A D-flip-flop is a type of digital storage element in digital circuits.
• “Transparent” in the context of a flip-flop means that the input signal is directly reflected at the output whenever the clock signal is active.
• The term “follows input” means that the output of the flip-flop mirrors the state of the input whenever the clock signal is active.
• In contrast, a non-transparent flip-flop would only capture the input when the clock signal transitions, and the output would not necessarily follow the input at all times.

Therefore, in the case of a transparent D-flip-flop, the output follows the input when the clock signal is active.
