Version

V1.0

Description

The block controls its output value based on inputs, which read rising or faling edge, and thus set or reset the output.

Inputs

Input Type Description Default value
IN BOOL Rising edge sets out=true False
INF BOOL Falling edge sets out=true False
IND BOOL Rising edge sets out=false False
INFD BOOL Falling edge sets out=false False

Outputs

Output Type Description
OUT BOOL Output value
OUTN BOOL Negation of the output value

Function

The block is a simple logical memory. Any rising edge at in and any falling edge at inf sets out=true. Any rising edge at ind and any falling edge at infd sets out=false. With more edges at the same time, out=false is preferred, see figure below. The output outn is negated out signal.

BD52 Flip-flop circuit – to keep it simple, inf=infd=false. Note that if more edges come at the same time, out=false is prioritized.

Application example

BD52 - Rising edge at the in input sets the output to true. May be used for aggregate / lights control using pushbuttons, or event-controlled switching.
