SPI is a good example of a communication protocol that operates this way. A FF changes state only at a active edge of its. That way, there is an entire half clock cycle for the signal to stabilize before it will be read, and slowing down the clock gives more time for outputs to stabilize. Master-Slave Flip-flops Positive-edge triggered D-FF Negative-edge triggered D-FF. After the rising or falling edge of the clock, the flip-flop content remains constant even if the input changes.
#Positive negative edge triggered flip flop update
However, for low speed buses routed on PCBs, there is another solution: update outputs on the negative clock edge, and latch inputs on the positive edge. The D flip-flop described here is positive edge-triggered which means that the input which is stored is that input which is seen when the input clock transitions from 0 to 1.This flip-flop is built from two gated latches: one a master D latch, and the other a slave SR latch. As known in the art, the CPU 122 executes instructions of a computer program. D Flip-Flop (edge-triggered) A D flip-flop is used in clocked sequential logic circuits to store one bit of data. By way of example, the negative edge triggered flip-flop 120 may be used in the internal cache 124 of the CPU 122. On integrated circuits, FPGAs, and high speed interconnects, this is handled by careful clock routing and detailed knowledge of the setup and hold times of the flip flops, as well as their propagation delay. However, the negative edge triggered flip-flop 120 may be implemented in any number of the devices shown in FIG.

Note that this problem is independent of the clock frequency, slowing down the clock doesn't fix it, only fixing the relative delays will help. The J-K flip-flop block has three inputs, J, K, and CLK. If the clock has more delay (due to trace length or capacitive loading) than the signal, then the second flip-flop can miss the value. The J-K Flip-Flop block models a negative-edge-triggered J-K flip-flop.

If both flip-flops update on a rising edge, then the second one will be sampling its input at the same time the first is updating the output.

This is an issue when you have one flip-flop output driving the input of the next.
