Concept explainers
To check whether the given statement is true or false.
The given statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
Latch:
A latch is a digital circuit that is used to hold a single bit of information. A latch holds this information until input is updated. The input signal can be high or low which makes the single bit 1 or 0 respectively.
Stable states of a Latch A stable state of a latch is defined as the output obtained after receiving two input signals. The output of the latch depends on the combination of two input signals or the two single bits it holds.
A latch has two stable states - high output and low output. The output of a latch depends on the nature of the input signals - high signal or low signal.
Conclusion:
Hence, a latch has two stable states. Thus, the given statement is True.
