Bistable Multivibrator or Flip/Flop Circuits
Bistable (Flip-Flop):  #'s-D     E-H      I-R       S-Z

Last Updated on: Monday, October 03, 2011 06:07 PM

Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • 1.5V TOUCH ACTIVATED SWITCH
    A single 1.5v silver oxide button cell powers this complete touch activated switch circuit for 5 years.  It features both a normally open and a normally closed set of solid-state switch thermals.  It also has an adjustable sensitivity, which can be set for a touch capacitance change as small as 1 picofarad.
  • D-FLIP/FLOP ONE SHOT CIRCUITS
    Yes you can use cheap D flip/flop logic circuits as nice one-shot pulse generators. This schematic shows how the popular CD4013 and the CD74HC74 can be used to generate pulses ranging from nanoseconds to seconds.
  • D-FLIP/FLOP OSCILLATORS  
    Yes you can turn flip/flop ICs into low current oscillators. This schematic shows you how.

1.5V Battery Powers Capacitance Switch  -  Using a unique differential time comparison technique this capacitance switch can detect a change of just one picofarad. [Designed by David A. Johnson]

12F675 as a Flip Flop -  Code to make a 12F675 operate as a D-type or JK-type flip flop.  Since I implemented a D type flip flop using  PIC Logic Elements I thought I might go  or way and implement an entire D type flip flop in a single PIC. This uses  edge triggered and port change status interrupts and was an opportunity to have a play with interrupts on  PIC....  (added 10/05)
3v Capacitance Proximity Switch -  This circuit was designed to provide a touch activated switch function without an external power supply.  It draws so little power that a single 3v battery will operate the circuit for many years.  It is discussed in more detail in the section on Capacitance Proximity Switch Technology. (Note: link is off-site) ….

CMOS Toggle Flip Flop using Laser Pointer -  The circuit below uses a CMOS dual D flip flop (CD4013) to toggle a relay or other load with a momentary push button. Several push buttons can be wired in parallel to control the relay from multiple locations. A high level from the push button is coupled to the set line through a small (0.1uF) capacitor. The high level from the Q output... [Bill Bowden's site]

DAC and flip-flops form constant-current-source -  23-Apr-09 Issue of EDN  Using two flip flops, you can program a serial-input DAC to produce a constant 4 mA.... [Design Idea by Marián Štofka, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia]
Descrete Set/Reset Flip Flop -  Here are two examples of bistable flip flops which can be toggled between states with a single push button. When the button is pressed, the capacitor connected to the base of the conducting transistor will charge to a slightly higher voltage. When the button is released, the same capacitor will discharge back to the previous voltage causing the transistor to turn off. The rising voltage at the collector of the transistor that is turning off causes the opposite transistor to turn on and the circuit remains in a stable state until....(circuit added 05/09)

Discrete BiStable Flip Flop -  (electronic schematic / circuit added 4/02)
Discrete Set/Reset Flip Flop -  This is an example of a set/reset flip flop using discrete components. When power is applied, only one of the transistors will conduct causing the other to remain off. The conducting transistor can be turned off by grounding it's base through the push button which causes the collector voltage to rise and turn on the opposite transistor.  (added 04/04)
