  • Q1. What are flip flops and latches
  • Ans. 

    Flip flops and latches are sequential logic circuits used in digital electronics to store and transfer data.

    • Flip flops are clocked circuits that store one bit of data, while latches are level-sensitive circuits that store data as long as the enable signal is active.

    • Flip flops are edge-triggered, meaning they change state on a clock edge, while latches are level-triggered, changing state as long as the enable signal is ...
