Flip flop inverter...
(1/1)
cowasaki:
Is there a simple circuit that takes a pulse input (either ground or VCC) and causes a flip flop to flop and then the same input again to flop again ie no reset but still have Q and inverted Q outputs.  This would be for a button to invert the outputs (so hardware debounce would be helpful too) and having Q and inverted Q means you could attach to the relevant one in order to select the correct default condition.
karkoon:
You can make a toggle switch using 555 timer and a few passive components.

A quick google should set you with many options of this design. If you need a quick reference here you go

There was also a video by Dave to make a soft toggle switch using just transistors.

It's called a T-flipflop (for toggle) and is built using a JK-flipflop, eg, 4027.

I think you can do the same with a 74HC74 which has a pair of D type flip flops in it.

Take the output of Q complement and feed it to the D input. Hook a debounced button up to the clock pin, tie reset and preset high, and I think thats about it.
Benta:
Yeah, a D-flipflop will work as well like you describe it. I'm just used to JKs, as they are more versatile.
