The electronic flip-flops were first invented by the British physicists William Eccles and F. W. Jordan in 1918. They were called the Eccles–Jordan trigger circuits or multi-vibrators, made up of two vacuum tubes. After the inventions of integrated circuits flip-flops were manufactured from transistors. Flip-flops and latches are used as basic fundamental building blocks of digital electronics systems used in computers, communications, and many other types of digital and analog systems.
