Is the following a master-slave flip-flop?: http://i.imgur.com/CyThX9L.jpg If not, what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, it looks like a NAND gate and a couple of J-K Flip Flops, aside from that I can't say much. Been way too many years since I dealt with these. I'm guessing you know this much already.

OpenStudy (s3a):

I do know that much already but, thanks for your input. :)

OpenStudy (s3a):

Basically, I just want to know if this is some random circuit or if it's a known circuit and, if it's a known circuit, I'd like to know which one it is.

Q0 generates a divide by 2 clock Q1 generates a divide by 4 clock

ganeshie8, I'm not sure what that means but, what about the question I asked initially?: "Is the following a master-slave flip-flop?: http://i.imgur.com/CyThX9L.jpg "

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it is not a MSFF by any means. it is just a clock divider circuit using regular flip flops. its quite normal to divide clocks in digital designs using flops

OpenStudy (s3a):

Thanks for telling me it's not a MSFF. But, I'm confused about this "clock division" concept. Could you please elaborate while keeping the explanation basic?
