A Pulse transition detector is used in flip flops in order to achieve edge triggering in the circuit. It merely converts the clocks rising edge to a very narrow pulse.

A '''Pulse transition detector''' is used in flip flops in order to achieve edge triggering in the circuit. It merely converts the clocks rising edge to a very narrow pulse.

The PTD consists of a delay gate (which delays the clock signal) and the clock signal itself passed through a NAND gate and then inverted.

Line 6 ⟶ 9:

The benefit of edge triggering is that it removes the problems of zeroes and ones catching associated with pulse triggered flipflops (eg. master slave flip flops).
