The difference or the comparison between the latch-based design and the flip-flop-based design is explained briefly. Let us compare the two types of design a Latch-based design and a Flipflop or Register-based design. These also help to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the latch and flip-flop. Latch Flip-flop 1 A Latch is a transparent device and is level-sensitive or pulse-sensitive. Either it can be a positive level triggered or negative level triggered. A flip-flop is also a transparent device, which is made up of a pair of level-sensitive latches, and the flip-flop is edge sensitive. 2 The latch is very less sensitive to the pulse duration i.e. soft barrier. The flip-flop is more sensitive to the pulse transition i.e. hard barrier. 3 The enable pin EN in the latch
