Latch state

A latch state refers to the condition of a device or system that retains information or a specific setting until it is intentionally changed. Think of it like a switch that stays in a particular position—on or off—until someone switches it. In electronics, a latch holds a value or data until a new signal updates it. This ability to "remember" or hold a state is essential for building memory, control systems, and digital circuits, ensuring data stays consistent until actively modified.
