In this chapter we will look at some useful sequential logic circuits. We will also look at circuits that make use of the D-type latch.

The D-Type Latch

In Chapter 5 we concentrated on using the JK flip flop to create some sequential circuit such as a counter. In this chapter we will concentrate more on using the D-type latch.

I have stated that the J and K inputs are used to configure how the flip flop operates. The next useful way of configuring the JK flip flop is to make the “K” input the ...
