T Flip flops

 

T flip flop or toggle flip flop avoids the indeterminate state found in the working of RS flip flop and provides only one input, hence the flip flop acts as a toggle switch. 

 

In T flip flop extremely narrow triggers drive the T input. For example, the Q input equals 0 before the trigger and the upper AND gate is enables and the lower AND gate is disabled. After the trigger, the S input is higher. 

 

There is one disadvantage in T flip flops i.e, the trigger is known only if the previous state is known.
