Flip Flop and ROM

05/21/2012 7:09 AM

I have some propblem with this question :

"Draw an implementation of the circuit using two JK flip-flops and a ROM; the

ROM should replace all combinational circuitry. Specify the ROM size. Give the ROM

programming table."

I know about JK flip flop but I don't know what ROM is and why ROM replace all combinational circuitry. So can anyone explain clearly for me about ROM. Thank you very much

This kind of question is very unlikely to have come from nowhere, it looks more like you got to this point without having paid attention to your digital circuits and microprocessors lessons.

You are being given a developed application and need to replace the many logic gates for a single Read Only Memory and access each address using filp-flops, but you need to know or figure the operation of the original circuit and burn the ROM in such way that it performs the same as your combinational circuit.

You skipped a lot of lessons, and this is something I can't help you with, since I'm myself not skilled in microprocessor systems, when I need to automate something I still use logic gates, or if the application is more complex, I use PLCs, OITs, Motion controllers or whatever is readily programmable.

There are people here who are proficient in such systems, but they will ask you the schematics of your combinational and/or a flowchart.

Regards

A Good Answer. You answered this students dilemma instead of trying to spoon feed the student in a very polite fashion. Nicely done.

FYI I suspect that the teacher's question of this student is intended to see if the student understands the timing requirements of getting data into and out of this ROM.

'ROM' Means "Read Only Memory"
