Flip-Flops, Registers, and Sequential Circuit Fundamentals

Flip-Flops: Basic Sequential Data Storage

A Flip-Flop is a basic sequential circuit used to store one bit of data (0 or 1). Unlike combinational circuits, the output of a flip-flop depends on:

  • Present input
  • Previous output (memory)
  • Clock signal

Flip-flops are the building blocks of registers, counters, and memory units.

1. RS (Set-Reset) Flip-Flop

The RS flip-flop has two inputs: S (Set) and R (Reset).

Working Principle

  • S = 1 → Output is set to 1
  • R = 1 → Output is reset to 0
  • S = R = 0 → No change
  • S =

Database Recovery Mechanisms Using Transaction Logs

Log-Based Recovery in DBMS

Log-based recovery is a mechanism used in DBMS to restore the database to a consistent state after a system crash or failure. The system maintains a log file stored on stable storage, recording every transaction’s operations before applying them to the database. Each log entry contains the transaction ID, data item name, old value, and new value. Using these logs, the DBMS can reconstruct the database by either undoing incomplete transactions or redoing completed ones.
