  • Main real life applications of Flip flops are counter display at bank, token counters, microwave oven timer, because counter circuits act only based on flipflop function and it will count value based on number of flip flops used.br /


  • Flip flop is mainly used for latching, it is used to maintain the status like if we want to latch the circuit at particular state, lets say ON state, then it can be done using Flip Flops. They are generally considered as a single bit memory device which can either hold 1 or 0 to latch the circuit in particular state. ITs like bistable multivibrator. They are generally triggerd using active high or low clock pulse. br /There are many types of flip flops like JK flip flop, d type flip flop, SR flip flop. There are many online good tutorial, but if you are preparing for interview then focus on JK flip flop, it is commonly asked flip flop, here is one link for JK flip flop. which was very helpful when I was preparing for Interview. ANd thankfullly they asked about it :)


  • emAppilication /emof the flip flop circuit mainly involves in bounce elimination switch, data storage, data transfer, latch, registers, counters, frequency division, memory, etc.


  • flip flops are basically used to transfer and store 1 bit of data and when no. of flip flops are used they forms shift registers shift depends on the no. of flip flops so instrong shift register /strongmore no. of bits can be store and transferedbr /Flip flops are also used as counters which counts pulses or events.counter can count upto strong2n ./strongwhere strongn denotes the no.of flip flops./strongbr /flip flops are also used for frequency division as they can divide the frequency of periodic waveform.when the pulse wave is used to toggle the flip flop the strongoutput frequency becomes half of the input frequency./strong


  • Flip-flops and latches are used as data storage elements. A flip-flop is a device which stores a single bit (binary digit) of data; one of its two states represents a "one" and the other represents a "zero". Such data storage can be used for storage of state, and such a circuit is described as sequential logic.


  • Flip flops will find their use in many of the fields in digital electronics. Flip flops are the main components of sequential circuits. Particularly, edge triggered flip flops are very resourceful devices that can be used in wide range of applications like storing of binary data, counter, transferring binary data from one location to other etc. Some of the most common applications of flip – flops arebr /Countersbr /Registersbr /Frequency Divider circuitsbr /Data transfer


  • Flip flops are used for storing data it can store one bit


  • flip flops are used for one bit storage that is flip flop is nothing but a register that can store a single bit.That bit may be either 1 or 0.


  • Flip-flop has got many applications like it can be used as a memory for storing and can be used as a delay element also it can be used in counting operations and we can use flip-flops as a frequency divider I would say flip-flop has got a lot of applications in digital electronics.br / 


  • Flip flip are use for sotring the one bit data ,,it is a memory storing elements


  • 1)COUNTER 2)MEMORY DEVICE 3)Data store 4)Registers


  • stored one bit data. 0 s or 1 s


  • Flipflops are used as memories. It stores single bit. Shift registers are also used for temporary storage of data


  • In electronics a flip flop is a circuit that has two stable state and can be store state information


  • one bit storage it is used for data storage


  • Inverter


  • A flip-flop is a bistable multivibrator. The circuit can be made to change state by signals applied to one or more control inputs and will have one or two outputs.


  • Data storage,data transfer,latches,registers,counters, frequency division,memory etc.,


  • Data transfer ,frequency division etc


  • Counters,data storage,
