A latch is a temporary storage device that has two stable states (bistable). It is a basic form of memory. The S-R (Set-Reset) latch is the most basic type. It can be constructed from NOR gates or NAND gates. With NOR gates, the latch responds to active-HIGH inputs; with NAND gates, it responds to active-LOW inputs.
