D-Latch
AND D-FLIP FLOP
Introduction
D-LATCH
Latch is an electronic device that can be used to store one bit of information. The D latch is used to capture, or 'latch' the logic level
.....
which is present on the Data line when the clock input is high. If the data on the D line changes state while the clock pulse is high, then
the output, Q, follows the input, D. When the CLK input falls to logic 0, the last state of the D input is trapped and held in the latch.
Timing diagram
From the timing diagram it is clear that the output Q's waveform resembles that of input D's waveform when the clock is high whereas
when the clock is low Q retains the previous value of D (the value before clock dropped down to 0)
D FLIP FLOP
The working of D flip flop is similar to the D latch except that the output of D Flip Flop takes the state of the D input at the moment of a
positive edge at the clock pin (or negative edge if the clock input is active low) and delays it by one clock cycle. That's why, it is
commonly known as a delay flip flop. The D FlipFlop can be interpreted as a delay line or zero order hold. The advantage of the D flipflop over the D-type "transparent latch" is that the signal on the D input pin is captured the moment the flip-flop is clocked, and
subsequent changes on the D input will be ignored until the next clock event.

From the timing diagram it is clear that the output Q changes only at the positive edge.At each positive edge the output Q becomes equal
to the input D at that instant and this value of Q is held untill the next positive edge
Characteristics and applications of D latch and D Flip Flop :
1. D-latch is a level Triggering device while D Flip Flop is an Edge triggering device.
2. The disadvantage of the D FF is its circuit size, which is about twice as large as that of a D latch. That's why, delay and
power consumption in Flip flop is more as compared to D latch.
3. Latches are used as temporary buffers whereas flip flops are used as registers.
4. Flip flop can be considered as a basic memory cell because it stores the value on the data line with the advantage of
the output being synchronized to a clock.
2. In edge triggering output can change only at one instant during the lock cycle; with level clocking output can change
during an entire half cycle of the clock.
