    Master-slave

    Another type of flip-flop used in some systems is the master-slave flip flop. This type of circuit consists of two flip-flops. The first is the master, which responds to the positive level of the clock, and the second is the slave, which responds to the negative level of the clock. The result is that the output changes during the 1-to-0 transition of the clock signal. The trend is away from the use of master-slave flip-flops and toward edge-triggered flip-flops.

    Flip-flops available in integrated circuit packages will sometimes provide special input terminals for setting or clearing the flip-flop asynchronously. These inputs are usually called "preset" and "clear." They affect the flip-flop on a negative level of the input signal without the need of a clock pulse. These inputs are useful for bringing the flip-flops to an initial state prior to its clocked operation.
