Electronics for Starters (6)
Part 6: Flip-flops

To understand the basics of electronics, you have to go beyond high-level block diagrams — now and then you need to look at the details inside the blocks. For example, a microcontroller consists of a large number of functional blocks, each of which is composed of just a few transistors. The best way to learn how these subunits work is to conduct simple, hands-on experiments.
