Experiment Title: LATCHES

Experiment No. 8

I. Introduction
A latch is an electronic logic circuit that has two inputs and one output. One of the
inputs is called the SET input; the other is called the RESET input. Latch circuits can be either
active-high or active-low.

II. Objectives
 Design a 4-bit ripple down counter using T flip flops. Your counter should count
down from 15 to 0 then underflow back to 15.

III. Materials and Components

 Logism

IV. Procedure (include screenshots/images)

1. Make the truth table
2. Draw the logic diagram
3. Simulate the circuit
 V. Results and Discussion

VI. Conclusion

In conclusion, although the S-R latch is considered the most basic type of sequential logic component, it
is still a very important component because other more complex type of components is actually formed
by combining the S-R latch with other types of components. The S-R latch can be divided into two types,
NAND S-R Latch which has active LOW input, and NOR S-R Latch which has active HIGH input. Both of
these latches have invalid states, which must be avoided if possible.
