Sequential Circuits
• A digital system has combinational logic as well as sequential
logic. The latter includes storage elements.
• The D latch receives that designation from its ability to hold data in
its internal storage.
• The output follows changes in the data input as long as the enable
input is asserted. This situation provides a path from input D to the
output, and for this reason, the circuit is often called a transparent
latch.
• When the enable input signal is de-asserted, the binary information
that was present at the data input at the time the transition occurred
is retained (i.e., stored) at the Q output until the enable input is
asserted again.
