Ben Eater | JK flip-flop racing @BenEater | Uploaded January 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
In this video, we build the JK flip-flop described in my previous video (youtu.be/F1OC5e7Tn_o) and find out it doesn't work properly. I demonstrate "racing" (aka "race around" or "race condition") in a JK flip flop.
