Is latch a type of flip-flop? I'm confuse.
No, a latch is not the same as a flip-flop. While both are sequential logic circuits used to store and manipulate data, they operate differently and have different applications.
The main difference between a latch and a flip-flop is in their mode of operation. A latch is level-sensitive, meaning it changes its outputs as long as its inputs remain in a particular state. A flip-flop, on the other hand, is edge-triggered, meaning it only changes its outputs on a clock signal.
No, latches and flip-flops are not interchangeable. They have different functionalities and cannot be substituted for one another without affecting the overall circuit's performance.
The main types of flip-flops are D flip-flop, JK flip-flop, T flip-flop, and SR flip-flop. Each type has a different triggering mechanism and is used for different applications.
Yes, latches and flip-flops can be combined in a circuit to create more complex sequential logic circuits. This allows for the storage and manipulation of larger amounts of data and enables the creation of more advanced digital systems.
