FLIPFLOP(9)

✨ FLIPFLOP ✨

okay bestie, come sit with me because we're talking about flipflop, a HAL Component from section 9 of the manual 💅 and honestly? she's tiny but she's everything.

🌸 NAME 🌸

flipflop — a D type flip-flop 💖 like, one bit of memory that remembers stuff when you tell it to. main character behaviour, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

loadrt flipflop [count=N|names=name1[,name2...]]

that's the whole vibe bestie. you loadrt it and you either say how many you want with count=N or you name your babies with names=name1[,name2...]. pick your fighter 🫶

⭐ FUNCTIONS ⭐

• flipflop.N — the function, per instance, and yeah she runs.

🦋 PINS 🦋

okay this is the part where you actually meet her pins (not like that 🙈). every instance gets its own lil flipflop.N. prefix, so instance 0 is flipflop.0.whatever, instance 1 is flipflop.1.whatever, you get it 💅

• flipflop.N.data (bit, in) — the data input bestie. this is the bit she's gonna hold onto. 🍓
• flipflop.N.clk (bit, in) — the clock, and the way that she only writes the data into out on a rising edge?? iconic. no rising edge, no write. periodt ✨
• flipflop.N.set (bit, in) — when this is true she forces out true. she said "we're doing true today" 💚
• flipflop.N.reset (bit, in) — when this is true she forces out false, and lowkey the important part is that reset overrides set. so if both are screaming at her at once, reset wins. that's just the rules 💀
• flipflop.N.out (bit, io) — the output. the bit she's been holding this whole time. 👑
• flipflop.N.out-not (bit, io) — the inverted output, aka out but make it ✨ opposite ✨. when out is chill, out-not is not, iykyk 🌈
