What is a flip flop

A flip-flop is used to store binary data, and is a simple latching circuit.

D type - Flip Flop



D and T type flippys

A flip flop has two inputs. One input is a control input. For a D flip flop, the control input is labelled D. For a T flip flop, the control input is labelled T. The other input is a clock input, labelled either with a triangle or CK. When a clock is drawn with a triangle like the ones below, these represent a positive-edge triggered clock, meaning that these can only change state when the clocks cycle is on a positive value i.e 1. When the clock is not on a positive value the bit stored within the flip flop is held i.e doesn't change.
