Differences between D-Latch and D flip-flop?..

Answer / gou9864

ANS 2 latch can have clock but there will be no diff with or with out clock as the latch is level sensitive.

We can use two latches to make a flip flop by assigning a edge sensitive clk using Master slave configuration

Differences between D-Latch and D flip-flop?..

Answer / guru sai prasad reddy.m

Latches and flip-flops are the basic elements for storing information. One latch or flip-flop can store one bit of
information. The main difference between latches and flip-flops is that for latches, their outputs are constantly
affected by their inputs as long as the enable signal is asserted. In other words, when they are enabled, their content
changes immediately when their inputs change. Flip-flops, on the other hand, have their content change only either
at the rising or falling edge of the enable signal. This enable signal is usually the controlling clock signal. After the
rising or falling edge of the clock, the flip-flop content remains constant even if the input changes.

Differences between D-Latch and D flip-flop?..

Answer / neha

D latch is sensitive to the clock transition either high to low or vice versa.i.e. output responds to the change in input during clock transition , after that it maintains its state.

D flip flop is sensitive to the pulse duration. i.e. output tracks input during entire pulse width(1 or 0).

Differences between D-Latch and D flip-flop?..

Answer / shashwat rohilla

The main difference is D-Latch does not have a clock but D-
Flip Flop does.
A Latch with the facility of the clock is a Flip Flop.
As far as Level-Triggering is concerned, a FF can also be
level-triggered. It is converted to edge triggered mode by
using 2 FF (Master Slave).
