The latch is level or edge sensitive

Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs

The latch is level or edge sensitive:

1. Edge
2. Level
3. Both level and edge
4. None of these

Correct answer: 2. Level

Explanation:

1. Edge-sensitive latch: A latch that is edge-sensitive responds to a specific transition or change in the input signal. Typically, it triggers on either the rising edge (transition from low to high) or falling edge (transition from high to low) of the input signal.
2. Level-sensitive latch: A level-sensitive latch, on the other hand, responds to the continuous level of the input signal. It is affected by whether the signal is high or low, rather than the specific transition.

In this case, the correct answer is “Edge” because an edge-sensitive latch responds to specific transitions (either rising or falling edges) in the input signal.
