Course Description:
Upon completion of this course student will understand operation of various types of flip flops and how they interact together. The building block of any microprocessor starts with the basic flip flops. The flip flop is used for timing and storage and also used to store one bit of information. By connecting several flip flops together, they may store data that can represent the state of a sequencer, the value of a counter, an ASCII character in a computer’s memory or any other piece of information.
