What is NAND SR latch?

When using static gates as building blocks, the most fundamental latch is the simple SR latch, where S and R stand for set and reset. It can be constructed from a pair of cross-coupled NOR or NAND logic gates. The stored bit is present on the output marked Q. The circuit shown below is a basic NAND latch.

How a SR latch can be implemented using NAND gates?

In 1st NAND gate, as Q and S’ inputs are 1, Q=0(RESET state). When S=R=1, both Q and Q’ becomes 1 which is not allowed. So, the input condition is prohibited. A Gated SR latch is a SR latch with enable input which works when enable is 1 and retain the previous state when enable is 0.

Which logic gates are used to construct the SR latch?

An SR latch made from two NAND gates. An SR latch (Set/Reset) is an asynchronous device: it works independently of control signals and relies only on the state of the S and R inputs. In the image, we can see that an SR latch can be created with two NOR gates that have a cross-feedback loop.

What is SR latch truth table?

The SR latch is a circuit with two cross-coupled NOR gates or two cross-coupled NAND gates with two inputs labelled S (for Set) and R (for Reset) and with two complementary outputs Q and Q’.

When SR flip-flop is implemented using NAND gate then which of the following condition is prohibited state condition?

S=1, R=1 is state forbidden in SR flip flop. The flip flop does not get damaged in forbidden state (S=R=1). It is called forbidden because there is no definitive gurantee of a fixed output.

How many NAND gates can be used in SR flip-flop?

two NAND gates
Clocked SR Flip – Flops This circuit is formed by adding two NAND gates to NAND based SR flip – flop. The inputs are active high as the extra NAND gate inverts the inputs. A clock pulse is given as input to both the extra NAND gates. Hence the transition of the clock pulse is a key factor in functioning if this device.

Why NAND based SR latch is preferred over NOR based SR latch?

NAND has lesser delay than Nor due to the NAND PMOS (size 2 and in parallel) when compared to NOR PMOS (size 4 in series). According to my understanding delay would be the same.
