Interview Questionnaire 

1 Question

  • Q1. What is the difference between latch and flip flop
  • Ans. 

    A latch is level-sensitive and a flip flop is edge-triggered.

    • A latch is transparent, meaning its output changes immediately with the input.

    • A flip flop is triggered by a clock signal, changing its output only on the rising or falling edge of the clock.

    • Latches are commonly used in asynchronous circuits, while flip flops are used in synchronous circuits.

    • Examples of latches include SR latch, D latch, and JK latch.

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Explain the working of CMOS inverter
  • Ans. 

    CMOS inverter is a type of logic gate that converts input signals into their complementary outputs.

    • CMOS inverter consists of a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor connected in series.

    • When input is high, PMOS conducts and NMOS is off, resulting in output low.

    • When input is low, NMOS conducts and PMOS is off, resulting in output high.

    • CMOS technology is widely used in digital integrated circuits due to its low power con
