Vertical align table and image

I'm trying to make a table with an image at one side

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[h!]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c  p{5cm} }

\begin{tabular}{c c  c | c c }
\hline
$S$ & $R$ & $CLK$ & $Q_{t+1}$  \\
\hline
0   & 0   & X     & $Q_t$   \\
\hline
0   & 1   & 1     & 0   \\
\hline
1   & 0   & 1     & 1   \\
\hline
1   & 1   & 1     & $Error$   \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
&
\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{RSflipflop}
\end{tabular}

\caption{Esquema de un Biestable RS síncrono}
\label{table:1}
\end{table}
\end{document}


I just want to get the image and the table with the same "top" (the image doesn't have white pixels)

• Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us to help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}.

Use c column type instead of p type, use [t] for inner tabular and use \raisebox for the picture.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[h!]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c  c }

\begin{tabular}[t]{c c  c | c c }
\hline
$S$ & $R$ & $CLK$ & $Q_{t+1}$  \\
\hline
0   & 0   & X     & $Q_t$   \\
\hline
0   & 1   & 1     & 0   \\
\hline
1   & 0   & 1     & 1   \\
\hline
1   & 1   & 1     & $Error$   \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
&
\raisebox{-\height}{\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{example-image}}
\end{tabular}

\caption{Esquema de un Biestable RS síncrono}
\label{table:1}
\end{table}
\end{document}


• The outer tabular is not needed BTW.
