CD4042 Quad Clocked D Latch

Contents hide

CD4042 consists of four clocked ‘‘D’’ latches, designed by using monolithic complementary MOS (CMOS) technology, integrated with P- and N-channel enhancement mode transistors. For polarity e 0; the information present at the data input is transferred to Q and Q during 0 clock level; and for polarity e 1, the transfer occurs during the 1 clock level. When a clock transition occurs (positive for polarity e 0 and negative for polarity e 1), the information present at the input during the clock transition is retained at the outputs until an opposite clock transition occurs. The output of the IC always comes in a 16 – pin hermetically sealed dual in line package (DIP). The IC offers many features such as high noise immunity, low thermal dissipation, and ESD barring, etc.

What is a D-Type Latch?

A D-type Latch is a clocked latch which has two stable states. A D-type latch operates with a delay in input by one clock cycle. Thus, by cascading many D-type flip-flops delay circuits can be created, which are used in many applications such as in digital television systems. A D-type latch is also known as a D flip-flop or a delay flip-flop.
