a backward somersault an electronic circuit that can assume either of two stable states a backless sandal held to the foot by a thong between the big toe and the second toe
A bistable circuit that can be triggered from one state to the other by an electrical signal; extensively used as a frequency divider
A term used to describe a terminal or logical which operates in half-plex, flip-flop mode, sending and receiving data in an alternating manner, but not both at the same time (full duplex)
A device that may assume either one of two reversible, stable states Note 1: The flip-flop is used as a basic control element in computer and communications systems Note 2: In a flip-flop, the transition from one stable state to the other is unstable, i e , for the very short period during which the transition takes place, both outputs may assume the same state, which state may be unpredictable Synonyms bistable circuit, bistable multivibrator, bistable trigger circuit
An electrical circuit having two stable states: on and off A basic logic circuit component
disapproval If you say that someone, especially a politician, flip-flops on a decision, you are critical of them because they change their decision, so that they do or think the opposite.
