Category: D-type latches 

A D-type latch is a level-sensitive storage element that captures the value on its data input D whenever its enable signal is active, and holds that value steady when the enable signal is inactive. While the latch is “open,” the output follows the input continuously; once the enable signal goes low, the latch “closes” and preserves the last input value, effectively storing a single bit until it is enabled again. This makes D-type latches useful for controlled data flow, temporary storage, and building larger sequential circuits where timing and transparency behavior matter.
