Learn the basics of flip-flops and latches, how they store information in circuits, and their different types and functionalities for better comprehension.
E N D
Flip-flops and latches • Flip-flops and latches are the fundamental elements of sequential circuits • Flip-flops and latches are used to store 1 bit of information • Flip-flops and latches (normally) have 2 complementary outputs • Usually denoted as Q and
Latch • Latch are the bi-stable devices which responds to the change of input logic levels as they occur. Q Complementory output Inputs Latch Q is the primary output is its complemetory
S-R Latch using NOR gate The two inputs, S and R denote ``set'' and ``reset'' respectively.
R Q Q’ S-R Latch using NAND gate S
Level-Sensitive/ Gated SR-Latch • “Q” only changes when CLK is high (i.e. level-sensitive) • When CLK is high, behavior same as SR latch E S R Q 0 X X No change 1 0 0 No change 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 Undefined
