Bistable

Question 1

R1 and R2

Answer 1

Pull-Up resistors. Ensure that inputs (Pin 2 and 4) are at defined voltage when idle

Question 2

C1

Answer 2

Connects pin 5 to ground for stabilization

Question 3

How does it work (Set)?

Answer 3

-Circuit starts in stable state
-Pressing set button pulls pin 2(trigger) low. This sets the internal flip flop, making output pin 3 go low
-LED connected to Output turns on, indicating high state. Circuit will remain in this state indefinitely, even after the button is released

Question 4

How does it work (Reset)?

Answer 4

-Output is currently high and the LED is on
-Pressing reset button pulls reset pin low. This resets internal flip flop, making output go low
-LED turns off, indicating a low state. The circuit remains in this state indefinitely until another button press changes it
