text: Because the state of a flip-flop often depends on the previous state of a circuit (for example, the output of one flip flop may be the input to another), and because each flip-flop and logic gate needs a certain amount of time to switch its output, we usually clock the devices, that is, we synchonize all the flip-flops to change states at the same time with a clocked pulse.
