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.
