How to Make Flip-flop Circuit

In this project circuit, we will teach you making a good quality flip-flop circuit. A flip flop is an electronic circuit with tow stable states that can be used to store binary data. Then stored data can be changed by applying varying inputs.

Flip-flops and latches are used as data storage elements. This is a bitable circuit concept in which it has two stable stages either On or OFF. It is kind of circuit that changes back and forth between two states (on and off) at certain intervals.

Flip-flops maintain their state indefinitely until an input pulse called a trigger is received. It flips into one state, than flops to another and so on.

The article is being published in collaboration with JLCPCB. They supply high quality PCBs at a very reasonable price. They also can provide SMT circuit assembly.

We thanks to our sponsor JLCPCB for sponsoring us PCBs for this project circuit.

A transistor is a miniature semiconductor that regulates or controls current or voltage flow in addition amplifying and generating these electrical signals and acting as a switch/gate for them.

In a simple word a transistor is a solid-state electronic device that is used to control the flow of electricity in electronic equipment and usually consists of a small block of a semiconductor.

Its 3 legs pin-out can be seen above -

1.    Emitter

2.    Base

3.    Collector 

The schematics of PCBs can be seen above.

To make this mini flip-flop circuit, we might need some electronics component. JLCPCB has its own parts library. JLCPCB has 200k+ in stock components, 24 hours rapid SMT assembly.

To make this flip-flop circuit, 1^st we connect 3 pieces 10 KΩ resistor with “Base” leg of transistor. Then we connect 100µf/25v capacitor negative leg with “Base” leg of transistor and its positive leg with other transistor “Collector” leg. We follow this process with the rest capacitor also and connect its empty terminal with 3 legs of 10 KΩ resistor.

We utilize JLCPCB https://jlcpcb.com/RTA to printout our PCB.

To make this flip-flop circuit we are using 3 different color LED light, as a like red, green and blue. For this 3 different color we make different set led light and we connect all LED negative leg with each other. Then we connect all red color led positive leg, blue color led positive leg and green color led positive leg.

Connect red color led positive leg with each other, blue color led positive leg with each other and green color led positive leg with each other.

Now we connect this 3 different color LED positive leg with 3 different transistor. Our circuit is now completely ready for use. You can use this circuit to decorate your home, office and can use any cultural program.

To operate this circuit, we need DC power source. We are using DC-12v power supply to operate this circuit. We connect dc 12v positive cable with that place, where 10 KΩ and 560 Ω resistor make series connection. The last connection is to connect dc 12v power supply negative cable. Just connect this cable with all transistor “Emitter” leg.

Our circuit is now completely ready for use. Just plug-in power and decorate your residential places.

Thanks to JLCPCB for offering us, this SMT PCB circuit.

Neat and perfect soldering is an important part of all kind of PCBs. Since soldering, you should remember that, there should not be any kind of short circuit. After soldering all leg, we cut-off the extra leg of all electronics component.
