What is the basic difference between Latches and Flip flops?

Answer Posted / ben harkema

There is no real difference. A latch only uses one output
whereas a flip-flop has two. In a latch one of the inputs
is used as a set. The second is used as a reset. In a flip-
flop the first input sets the first output and resets the
second. The second input resets the first output and sets
the second.

A number os flipflops are often used as a part of a (shift)
register. Then both outputs are used and the shift is made
by a clockpulse.

A flip-flop (and thus a latch) can be edge triggered or
level-triggered. This depends on the internal structure of
the IC.
