Category: Flip-flops 

A flip-flop is a fundamental digital memory element that stores a single bit of information by maintaining one of two stable output states until an input signal causes it to change. Unlike simple logic gates, a flip-flop is sequential, meaning its output depends not only on current inputs but also on its previous state, allowing it to act as a tiny, clocked memory cell. By responding predictably to control signals—such as clock pulses, set/reset inputs, or data lines—flip-flops form the backbone of registers, counters, and virtually all synchronous digital systems where reliable state retention and timing are essential.
