- What is the simplest circuit that can remember one bit?
- A fault in a heat pump lasts only a moment: how does the controller keep reporting it until someone acknowledges it?
What will you be able to do at the end of this lesson? – The intended learning outcomes:
- You determine the behaviour of latches and flip-flops from timing diagrams.
- You choose the suitable type of flip-flop for a task.
