Introductions to Flip-Flops

- Advertisement -

Flip-flops and latches are fundamental building blocks of digital electronics. A flip-flop in digital electronics 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.

A latch is asynchronous and level triggered, meaning the outputs can change as soon as the input changes (or at least after a small propagation delay). Whereas a Flip Flop is synchronous and edge triggered, i.e. the output changes when a control signal goes from high to low or low to high.
