Description

A latch is a device that can be used to store one bit of information. The D latch is used to capture, or ‘latch’ the logic level which is present on the Data line when the clock input is high. If the data on the D line changes state while the clock pulse is high, then the output, Q, follows the input, D. When the CLK input falls to logic 0, the last state of the D input is trapped and held in the latch
