The circuit has a fairly simple explanation. U1 is a counter. Figure 1 A Flip ON Flop OFF circuit for DC voltages. The gadget is connected to the output terminals of the PB. With an adequate heat sink ...

One such circuit turns 100 years old in June, which is surprising because it literally is the building block of every computer. It’s the flip-flop, and while its inventors likely couldn’t have ...

The transistor level structure of a D flip-flop contains two ‘back-to-back’ inverters known as a ‘latching circuit,’ since it retains a logic value. Immediately after the D input, an inverter may or ...

Instead of going with a microcontroller he built the circuit around a 555 timer. What he really needed in this case is a flip-flop but lacking a chip for that he went with the 555 because it has ...
