Abstract
This paper 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. Technologist 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. Such experience is not only borne out of hands-on
practice but can be acquired by sound theoretical knowledge of what to do. This paper examines
a situation where a device (JK-Flip Flop) is not available to replace a defective one but an SRFlip
flop is configured to be used for the same purpose without degradation of performance.
