This chapter will discuss how engineers moved on from discovering the first NAND gate. It will introduce you to the SR latch and show how this led to the creation of the memory in the modern-day computers.

We will discuss the JK flip flop, the D-type latch, and the T latch. I hope the text and the test circuits will give you a good foundation of digital electronics and create a desire to use the circuits themselves.

The SR Latch

In Chapter 2 we stated that the NAND gate was the first and most ...
