Dans un registre à décalage à deux étages [...], le transfert de l'information de la première bascule vers la suivante nécessite deux signaux d'horloge décalés l'un part rapport à l'autre. Le perfectionnement suivant réside dans le fait qu'un seul signal d'horloge est nécessaire; nous sommes en présence de la bascule «maître-esclave», également constituée par l'association de deux bistables : une première bascule (le «maître») stocke l'information en fonction de l'état de ses portes d'entrée, et l'autre (l'«esclave») qui, sous l'influence du même signal d'horloge, appliqué à travers des portes logiques, obéit aux ordres de basculement ou de non-basculement qui lui sont intimés par le «maître». 3, record 3, French, - bascule%20ma%C3%AEtre%2Desclave
