[!TLDR]

Flip-flops are used for data storage, registers, counters, frequency division, data transfer and bounce elimination.

Because a flip-flop stores one bit and holds it until clocked, it is the building block of most sequential systems. A few important applications are:

  1. Memory / data storage — each flip-flop stores one bit of binary data.
  2. Registers — a group of flip-flops forms a storage or shift register.
  3. Counters — cascaded flip-flops count clock pulses (asynchronous and synchronous counters).
  4. Frequency division — a toggle flip-flop divides the input clock frequency by two; cascades divide by higher powers of two. …
