Hi,
I'm trying to construct a simple memory circuit using a 74LS175 Quad D Flip Flop. I have the circuit wired as shown in the picture attached on a breadboard. I'm using the 5V pin on my Raspberry Pi as a power supply. The problem I'm having is that when I "artificially" use a switch as the clock for the IC , the output doesn't follow the input which is constantly HIGH. I've tested both the LEDs and the resistors and they work fine, I think it might be that the RPi can't drive the IC or that the IC is dead, but I've dried multiple 74LS175s and I've had no luck.
Could anyone please help me? I've been trying to figure out this circuit for two years now, originally with transistors until my lecturers advised me to move away from transistors when IC's have everything I'll ever need.
Thank you so much
