7. A new clocked X-Y flip flop is defined with two inputs, X and Y is in addition to the clock input. The flip flop functions as follows:
If XY = 00, the flip flop changes state with each clock pulse
If XY = 01, the flip flop state Q becomes ‘1’ with the next clock pulse
If XY = 10, the flip flop state Q becomes ‘0’ with the next clock pulse
If XY = 11, the change of state occurs with the clock pulse
a. Write the truth table for the XY flip flop
b. Write the excitation table for the XY flip flop
c. It is desirable to convert a J-K flip flop into X-Y flip flop by adding some external gates, if necessary. Draw a circuit to show how you will implement in X-Y flip flop using a J-K flip flop.
