In digital electronics, a race around condition occurs when the output of a sequential circuit changes state multiple times during a single clock pulse due to feedback loops. This phenomenon is particularly problematic in JK flip-flops when both J and K inputs are set to 1, causing the output to toggle continuously until the clock pulse ends.
In the context of Indian electronics manufacturing, companies like Bharat Electronics Limited （BEL） and various local semiconductor startups have developed specialized flip-flop designs to mitigate race conditions. These Indian-made components incorporate additional gating circuits and propagation delay adjustments to ensure stable operation in harsh environmental conditions common across the subcontinent.
Indian technical institutes, including IITs and NITs, have contributed research on race condition prevention methods. Their work has led to improved digital circuit designs used in domestic products such as Indian-made smartphones, railway signaling systems, and agricultural automation devices. |
