Flip-Flop


A Flip-flop is a circuit that has two stable states and can be used to store state information.The circuit can be made to change state by signals applied to one or more control inputs and will have one or two outputs. It is the basic storage element in sequential logic.


Flip-flops are a fundamental building block of digital electronics systems used in computers, communications, and many other types of systems.They are used as data storage elements. Such data storage can be used for storage of state, and such a circuit is described as sequential logic.
Flip-flops can be either simple (transparent or asynchronous) or clocked (synchronous); the transparent ones are commonly called latches.The word latch is mainly used for storage elements, while clocked devices are described as flip-flops.


There are kindsof Flip-flops that can be divided into common types: D ("data" or "delay"), T ("toggle"), and JK types are the common ones.
