When we want to use flip-flops with CMOS. Often we meet CD4027. It is dual J-K flip-flops that are monolithic complementary MOS integrated circuits.
We have seen many circuits that use them. Of course, making a great circuit we should understand detail of any parts( basic enough).
Slow down!
If you are beginner. You should read how flip-flop works below.
CD4027 datasheet
So, in this post, we will learn about the CD4027 datasheet. See Its internal structure and pinout. It consists of N- and P-channel enhancement mode transistors.
And, It looks like CD4013. But they are different pins, be careful.
Each flip-flop has independent J, K, set, reset, and clock inputs and buffered Q and Q outputs.

CD4027 Pinout
We use MC14027 or CD4027 or TC4027 as CMOS-IC, inside JK-Flip-Flop and 16 pins. See pinout below.
Which each pin has a different function as shown below.
These flip-flops are edge sensitive to the clock input and change state on the positive-going transition of the clock pulses.
The connection diagram
Set or reset is independent of the clock and is accomplished by a high level of the respective input.
The diode clamps across VDD and VSS to protect against damage to All inputs, due to static discharge.

I love electronics. I have been learning about them through creating simple electronic circuits or small projects. And now I am also having my children do the same. Nevertheless, I hope you found the experiences we shared on this site useful and fulfilling.
