Category: D-type flip-flops 

A D-type flip-flop is a digital storage element that captures the value present on its data input (D) at the moment of a triggering clock edge and then holds that value stable at its output (Q) until the next clock event. Internally, it uses gating logic to ensure that only the value at the precise clock transition—typically the rising or falling edge—is latched, making it ideal for building synchronous circuits where timing and state progression must be tightly controlled. Because it cleanly separates input sampling from output holding, the D-flip-flop is the fundamental building block for registers, counters, finite-state machines, and virtually all modern sequential logic.
