5.2. Latch and flip-flop

As we have realized NOR and NAND gates in the first part of the book with transistors, now we will use them to make latches. A latch is a circuit that contains two steady states, so it is also called a bistable, and stores a value of 1 bit. We realized this extremely important component previously with the help of 555 chips when making oscillators, and now we will build it from discrete components, for a deeper understanding.
