flip-flops

Flip-flops are electronic devices used in digital circuits to store binary information, representing either a 0 or a 1. They function as a basic memory element, enabling the storage and transfer of data between different parts of a circuit. By locking in an input value, flip-flops can maintain that state until a change is triggered, making them essential for tasks like data storage, timing management, and sequence control in computers and other digital systems. Common types include SR, D, JK, and T flip-flops, each serving different functions based on their input and output configurations.
