#077 NOR Gate SR Latch

Set-Reset latch implemented with 74LS02 NOR gates.

The Build

Notes

This circuit is another implementation of a Set-Reset flip-flop, this time using NOR gates. Sometimes this is referred to as a "NOR Latch". A 74LS02 is used to provide the two NOR gates required.

See the LEAP#061 SRLatch circuit for an implementation using BJTs.

Ben Eater has a great video explaining SR latch behaviour:
