Latch systems
A latch system in electronics is a device that temporarily holds or "latches" a specific state or data until deliberately changed. It functions like a storage element, capturing input signals when enabled and maintaining that output even if inputs change later. Latches are fundamental in digital circuits for creating memory and synchronization, enabling devices to remember information safely and reliably through periods of processing. They operate based on control signals, such as enable or clock signals, which determine when they update their stored state.
