When Qs is high level, Qr is after low level, is replaced by I crelectric current starts to charge to the electric capacity Cr of its correspondence, and I cselectric current no longer charges to its corresponding electric capacity Cs, and Cr electric charge is discharged by discharge path.Therefore, the voltage V on electric capacity Cr crstart linear rising, node voltage V csbe dropped rapidly to 0V, trigger Yr and become high level from low level.After T2 after a while, V crrise to certain voltage and (be referred to as V max2) after, trigger Yr and become low level from high level, now Ys is still high level, and trigger Qr and become high level, Qs becomes low level.
