Difference between Latch and Flip-Flop

Latch:

Latches are sequential logic circuits that designed using logic gates. It used to store binary information. These are level triggered and thus operate when they are enabled.

Flip-Flop:

A flip-flop is a binary cell capable of storing one bit of information. It has two outputs, one for the normal value and one for the complement value of the bit stored in it. A flip-flop maintains a binary state until directed by a clock pulse to switch states.

Latch vs Flip-Flop:

Latch	Flip-Flop
1. It follows level triggering approach.	1. It follows edge triggering approach.
2. It is designed using Logic gates	2. It is designed using Latches with a clock
3. Type of operation performed: Asynchronous	3. Type of operation performed: Synchronous
4. It requires comparatively less power.	4. It requires more power.
5. It is sensitive to applied input signal when enabled.	5. It is sensitive to applied input along with clock signal.
6. Type: S-R, J-K, T and D Latches.	6. Type: S-R, J-K, T and D Flip flops.
7. Latches are comparatively less robust.	7. Flip-flops are comparatively more robust.
8. Latches operate only using binary inputs.	8. Flip-Flops work using the binary input and the clock signal.
9. Circuit analysis is complex.	9. Circuit analysis is easy.
10. It has a comparatively fast operating speed.	10. It has a slow operating speed.
