Latches: LCST - Logic Circuits and Switching Theory

The document discusses different types of latches including the S-R latch, gated S-R latch, and gated D latch. Latches are bistable devices that can reside in one of two states and are different from flip-flops in how their state is changed. The latches can be implemented using logic gates or programmed in a programmable logic device using VHDL.

Module 50 - Latches 1
Prepared by: fscjr.
Introduction
 The latch is a type of temporary storage device that has two
stable states (bistable) and is normally placed in a category
separate from that of flip-flops.

 Latches are similar to flip-flops because they are bistable


devices that can reside in either of two states using a feedback
arrangement, in which the outputs are connected back to the
opposite inputs.

 The main difference between latches and flip-flops is in the


method used for changing their state.

Learning Objectives
 After completing this module, the learners
should be able to:

1. Explain the operation of a basic S-R latch

2. Explain the operation of a gated S-R latch

3. Explain the operation of a gated D latch

4. Implement an S-R or D latch with logic gates

5. Describe the 74HC279A and 74HC75 quad latches

The S-R (SET-RESET) Latch

 A latch is a type of bistable logic device or multivibrator.

 In normal operation, the outputs of a latch are always


complements of each other.

 SET means that the Q output is HIGH. RESET means that the Q
output is LOW.

IMPLEMENTATION: S’-R’ LATCH

 Programmable Logic Device (PLD)

 An S’-R’ latch can be described using VHDL and implemented as


hardware in a PLD.

 VHDL statements and keywords not used in previous chapters


are introduced in this chapter.

 These are library, use, std_logic, all, and inout.

The Gated S-R Latch

 A gated latch requires an enable input, EN (G is also used to


designate an enable input).

Module 50 - Latches 13
Prepared by: fscjr.
The Gated D Latch

 Another type of gated latch is called the D latch. It differs from


the S-R latch because it has only one input in addition to EN.
This input is called the D (data) input.
