- Sequential circuits use a periodic clock signal to determine when to store values from combinational logic circuits. - The basic storage element is a flip flop, which can be constructed from latches. Common types include D, JK, and T flip flops. - Flip flops store their output on either the rising or falling edge of the clock signal. They allow data to be stored indefinitely until the next clock edge. - Multiple flip flops can be combined to store multiple bits of data, forming the basis of computer memory systems. Sequential circuits combine storage from flip flops with additional combinational logic.
