Best Answer

In electronics, a flip-flop is a device that switches automatically between two states, on and off.

There are various types, like re-settable and astable.

By using timing capacitors, the switch can be made to change state by the input of a signal and then it automatically switches back, after a pre-determined time.

(You 'flip' it and it 'flops' back, hence the name)

The uses are many and varied.

The most popular would be signal processing and de-bouncing of switch contacts.

A noisy switch may cause sensitive electronics to jitter between states. By wiring the switch through a flip-flop. the output will consist of one single, clean, pulse, regardless of how many times the input is triggered during a time period.

Flip-flop is needed in electronics for the design of counters and registers.
