It’s the flip-flop, and while its inventors likely ... clear that they set out to invent what would become known as a bistable multivibrator. It is clear that they based their circuit on the ...

Monostable multivibrators or one-shots are digital logic devices that have only one stable state. By contrast, flip-flops and latches are bistable devices that can remain in either a set or reset ...

Because they must remember past states, logic counters include memory. Generally, logic counters consist of bistable devices or bistable multivibrators called flip-flops. The number of flip-flops and ...
