Hello,

When you look at the functional diagram, what would the pins do?

Hi there,

The missing question here is: "What kind of flip flop" ?

There are several types of flip flops, to name a few:
RS type, D type, T type, JK type.

The RS type for example would be simpler to do with a 555 while the T type (toggle flip flop) would be harder to implement. So it would be good if you can tell us or find out yourself if you dont know yet. If "any" type is acceptable then i would recommend doing the RS type, although the T type would be much more interesting and probably gain you some brownie points with the teacher

 

Google "555 toggle"; it has been posted all over the web, even here at this forum, but Wendy called it a "bi-stable" instead of a toggle flip-flop

"Help" implies providing assistance to one that is making an effort to solve a problem. So let's see some of that effort so that we have something to assist with.

 

Hi,
You can refer this thread : http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/555-flip-flop-how-best-to-do-this.60415/

A flip flop is nothing but a bistable multivibrator. When it is used in digital circuits it is called as Flip Flop or Latches.
