For example, if a computer is to store 16 bit data, then it needs a set of 16 flip flops.
Register is a group of flip flops used to store multiple bits of data. In digital electronics, a Register is a device which is used to store the information.įlip flops are use in constructing registers. As a single flip flop is used for one bit storage, n flip flops are connected in an order to store n bits of data. But if we need to store multiple bits of data, we need multiple flip flops. Parallel in Parallel out shift registerįlip flops can store a single bit of binary data i.e.
