one for each latch. 3.3v. push buttons are the source. its driving led'sYour question is missing a LOT of information. For example, are there 8 switches, one for each bit, or one switcn controlling an 8-bit latch?
Operating voltage?
Source of whatever is being latched?
What is the latch output driving?

Only if you can figure out how to wire one button to two different pins.Could 8 555 chips be used for this?
In the sense that the 2 pins are separate?Only if you can figure out how to wire one button to two different pins.
Thanks for showing why I should stay retired. Given that I started to think a mainframeWhy not just 8 push on/push off buttons/switches?
In the sense that a 555 configured as a bistable has one pin to set the flip-flop and a different pin to clear the flip-flop.In the sense that the 2 pins are separate?
There is a very common 555 circuit that acts as a toggle flipflop with a simple SPST switch.In the sense that a 555 configured as a bistable has one pin to set the flip-flop and a different pin to clear the flip-flop.
yesThere is a very common 555 circuit that acts as a toggle flipflop with a simple SPST switch.
To the OP: So now it sounds like there are eight SPST momentary pushbutton switches, each one controlling a toggle flipflop, and each flipflop output drives one LED. Eight fully independent circuits, no common reset or anything else.
yes / no ?
If that is correct, then yes, eight 555 circuits can do this.
Or eight 2-transistor flipflops.
Or four CD4093 quad NAND gates, with each pair of gates configured as a toggle flipflop.
Or four CD4013 dual flipflops, with each one configured as a toggle flipflop.
Here is the 555 circuit.

Nope. He wants 8 independent debounced clock pulses, one from each switch, to 8 independent toggle flipflops.Use a 74ACT825 or other 8-bit D-type flip-flop
3.3vThe boards that will do all 8 channels in post #10 (you only need 1 board to do the 8 channels) :
CY8CKIT-059

CY8CKIT-043
Shop them, I see the 059 board as low as ~ $16, which is a much more capable target chip.
Note the boards have two PSOC chips on them, one the target, the other for debug/programming.
You snap off programmer when done with design. Note it can be used as another stand alone
design, but indepth debug facility no longer present so one debugs writing to ports. Also
it has very limited I/O, but still quite usable for some designs.
The design in post #10 you write no code, although you do a build and then hit program button
as tool generates setup code for the target PSOC. Normally one does write code but many designs
can be done codeless due to their simplicity, as this design is.
The resources in the target chip, multiples in many cases, that you can also use are :

What LED current do you need ?
