Sequential Circuits: JK Flip-Flop

The JK flip-flop is similar to the SR flip-flop but with the following upgrade: instead of entering an undefined state when both J and K inputs are $1$, the JK flip-flop toggles the output.

With inputs J and K, the flip-flop can be set, reset, or toggle its output, depending on the input state and clock signal. It is highly versatile in digital systems requiring toggle functionality.
