Reading Time: 2minutes The most elementary sequential chip in the computer is a device called a flip-flop. There are several variants of flip-flops. In this project, I've used the variant called a data flip-flop or DFF. Its interface consists of a single bit data input, and a single-bit data output. In addition, the DFF has a clock input that continuously changes according to the master clock's signal.
For the purpose of this project, DFFs are treated as primitive building blocks from which all other memory elements are built.

Taken together, the data and the clock inputs enable the DFF to implement the time-based behaviour: out(t) = in(t-1)
For the purpose of this project, DFFs are treated as primitive building blocks from which all other memory elements are built.
