Certainly! Below is a transcription suitable for an educational website, with an explanation of the diagram:---1. For the circuit in Figure 1, determine the characteristic table. What is the cost of the circuit? What is the critical delay?**Circuit Diagram Explanation:**The diagram represents a clocked SR latch using NAND gates. It features two inputs, `S` (Set) and `R` (Reset), along with a clock input `Clk`. The circuit outputs are `Q` and `Q̅` (Q-bar).- **Components:** - The circuit includes four NAND gates. - The outputs from the first two NAND gates feed into the second pair of NAND gates. - The final pair produces the outputs `Q` and `Q̅`.- **Functionality Overview:** - When the clock `Clk` is activated, the latch responds to the `S` and `R` inputs. - If `S` is high and `R` is low, the latch sets `Q` to high. - Conversely, if `S` is low and `R` is high, `Q` resets to low. - If both `S` and `R` are low, the outputs remain unchanged. - The state when both `S` and `R` are high is considered invalid for an SR latch.For further study, students should explore the characteristic table which defines the output states based on different combinations of `S`, `R`, and `Clk`. Additionally, consider the cost of the circuit (related to the number of gates used) and the critical delay (affected by the gate delays in the longest path through the circuit).--- This description integrates an explanation of both the symbolic and functional aspects of the latch circuit, providing students with a foundation for determining its characteristic table, cost, and critical delay.

Flipflop means, the user able to change it's value and the user able to save it forever. In SR flipflop, SR stands for Set and Reset. It is a sequential circuit and the outputs are depending on previous outputs and present inputs.Given circuit is the SR flipflop and the characteristic table is: S R Q Q¯ 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 ∅ 1 1 1 ∅The cost of the SR flipflop is varies based on the quality and there is no delay in the SR flipflop. The delay flipflop is D-flipflop. But if we see the circuit diagram there are two stages of NAND gates. If we consider delay of 1 NAND gate as 1 unit then the delay becomes 2 units.
