👉 Switches, also known as binary switches or flip-flops, are fundamental components in digital electronics and computer science that store a single bit of data. They can be in one of two states: 0 or 1, representing binary digits. The "switch" aspect comes from their ability to toggle between these states based on control signals. Typically, a switch is controlled by an input signal (often referred to as a trigger or clock signal), which determines whether the output state changes. When the input is high (logic 1), the switch remains in its current state; when the input is low (logic 0), it changes state. This binary behavior makes switches essential for data storage, signal processing, and the implementation of more complex digital circuits like counters, registers, and memory units.
