A flip-flop is an arrangement of gates that is capable of storing one bit of information. One bit is enough to make it a memory device. Collections of flip-flops can be assembled into registers of any width, and various techniques for loading and reading such as serial shift in/out or parallel may be implemented. Counters can also be built from flip-flops. In each case, the register holds data for as long as its input state is appropriate (depending on the type).

The ability to persist either of two states is what makes the flip-flop the prototype of all memory devices.

What are the types of flash memory?

Flash memory is a term used for solid state devices. They are called solid state because they have no moving parts and the data is "flashed" to the device. Mobile phones use flash memory, USB storage devices or even large mass storage devices can be bought as solid state.
