Question

In the simplest type of these devices, setting both inputs to one or zero depending on the construction - is forbidden because it would result in logical inconsistency. (15[1])Feeding the outputs of two of these devices into a multiplexer creates a larger type of them that is triggered by both rising and falling clock edges. Several of these devices are cascaded together in a shift register. (15[3])The simplest type of these devices is built around two cross-coupled (-5[1])(*) NOR or NAND gates in a positive feedback loop. Their outputs are labeled Q and Q-bar, and their subtypes include the JK, D, and SR. (10[1])Unlike the similar latch, these devices are enabled by a clock signal. For 10 points, name these digital logic circuits whose name derives from their ability to toggle between two stable states. ■END■

ANSWER: flip-flops [accept latch before that word is read]
