Latch

A basic memory element that stores a single bit of data, but its state depends on the level of the input signals.

Gated D Latch

A type of latch that uses a gate signal to control data transfer. When the gate is active, the latch updates its output to match the input. When the gate is inactive, the latch holds its current output value.

Gate Signal

An input signal that enables or disables data transfer in a gated latch. It determines whether the latch is active or inactive.

Setup Time (tsu)

The minimum amount of time that the data input (D) must be stable before the clock edge arrives. This ensures the data is properly captured.

Hold Time (th)

The minimum amount of time that the data input (D) must remain stable after the clock edge occurs. This maintains data integrity.

Master-Slave D Flip-Flop

A type of flip-flop constructed using two D latches. The first latch (master) receives the data input when the clock is high, while the second latch (slave) transfers the data to the output when the clock is low.

Edge-Triggered D Flip-Flop

A flip-flop that changes its state only at the edge of the clock signal. Either the rising edge (positive) or the falling edge (negative) is used.

Why use Edge-Triggered D Flip-Flops?

Edge-triggered D flip-flops ensure data changes only once per clock cycle, preventing race conditions and ensuring reliable operation.

Master-Slave Flip-Flop vs. Edge-Triggered

While both achieve the same goal of single data change per clock, the master-slave design uses two latches with a clock signal, while the edge-triggered design only needs a single latch with a sensitive edge.

Gated SR Latch - Enabling

The gated SR latch is enabled when the Clk input is high (logical 1). This allows the latch to change its state based on the values of S and R.

Gated SR Latch - Disabling

The gated SR latch is disabled when the Clk input is low (logical 0). This prevents the latch from changing its state, even if S and R are changing.

Gated SR Latch - NAND Implementation

A gated SR latch can be constructed using two NAND gates, one for the output Q and another for the inverting output Q'. The clock signal is applied to the input of both NAND gates.

Gated SR Latch - NOR Implementation

Although possible, a Gated SR latch with NOR gates leads to an undesirable characteristic that makes it less practical.

Gated D Latch Motivation

The Gated D latch simplifies latch control as it uses a single data input (D) instead of two (S and R). This makes it easier to handle different data values and eliminates the need for resetting the latch before storing a desired value.

Gated D Latch - Implementation

The Gated D latch is constructed by modifying an SR latch, where the R input is tied to the inverse of the D input. When Clk is high, the D input is passed to the output Q.

What are the two parts of a Master-Slave D Flip-Flop?

The two parts are the Master and the Slave latches. The Master latch receives data when the clock is high, while the Slave latch transfers it to the output when the clock goes low.
