Theoretically, the smallest amount of data a binary computer can hold is one bit (an eighth of a byte. it can only hold two states: 1 or 0.)

Setup and hold time?

Setup time is the minimum amount of time the data signal should be held steady before the clock event so that the data are reliably sampled by the clock.Orthe minimum time before which data must be stable before clock transition.Hold time is the minimum amount of time the data signal should be held steady after the clock event so that the data are reliably sampled.Orthe minimum time after which data must be stable after clock transition.These are the times during which the data input must be stable.

What is the difference between flipflop setup time and hold time?

Set up time is the amount of time before the clock edge that the input signal needs to be stable to guarantee it is accepted properly on the clock edge. Hold time is the amount of time after the clock edge that same input signal has to be held before changing it to make sure it is sensed properly at the clock edge. Whenever there are setup and hold time violations in any flip-flop, it enters a state where its output is unpredictable: this state is known as metastable state (quasi stable state); at the end of metastable state, the flip-flop settles down to either '1' or '0'. This whole process is known as metastability
