<p>In a <a href="page.php?w=Synchronous_circuit">synchronous digital system</a>, data is supposed to move in "lockstep", advancing one stage on each tick of the <a href="page.php?w=clock_signal">clock signal</a>. This is enforced by synchronizing elements such as <a href="page.php?w=Flip-flop_%28electronics%29">flip-flops</a> or <a href="page.php?w=Latch_%28electronics%29">latches</a>, which copy their input to their output when instructed to do</p><p>
