Question

What is a latch? Give examples from real life applicances and devices. Also explain the release mechanism.

Answer 1

A latch is an example of a bistable multivibrator, that is, a device with exactly two stable states. These states are high-output and low-output. A latch has a feedback path, so information can be retained by the device. Therefore latches can be memory devices, and can store one bit of data for as long as the device is powered. As the name suggests, latches are used to "latch onto" information and hold in place. Latches are very similar to flip-flops, but are not synchronous devices, and do not operate on clock edges as flip-flops do.

Answer 2

Latch is a basic element that is used to store information .It is has a electric logic circuit that has two inputs and one output . in this has single bit. on is these used to represents 'one and other that is used in 'zero'. ....
