23. Which of the following describes the operation of a positive edge-triggered D flip-flop?

  • If both inputs are HIGH, the output will toggle.
  • The output will follow the input on the leading edge of the clock.
  • When both inputs are LOW, an invalid state exists
  • The input is toggled into the flip-flop on the leading edge of the clock and is passed to the output on the trailing edge of the clock.
