Summary: 
In this letter an SR-latch circuit using Hopfield neural networks is introduced. An energy function suited for a neural SR-latch circuit is defined for which the global convergence is guaranteed. We also demonstrate how to compose master-slave (M/S) SR- and JK-flip flops of novel SR-latch circuits, and further an asynchronous binary counter of M/S JK-flip flops. Computer simulations are included to illustrate how each presented circuit operates.
