Intermediate Digital Logic Design
Q56 / 100

What is the purpose of an "edge-triggered" versus "level-triggered" (level-sensitive) flip-flop or latch?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) An edge-triggered device changes state only at a clock transition (rising or falling edge); a level-triggered device responds throughout the active clock level, making it more susceptible to multiple unintended changes per pulse

A

Correct Answer

An edge-triggered device changes state only at a clock transition (rising or falling edge); a level-triggered device responds throughout the active clock level, making it more susceptible to multiple unintended changes per pulse

Explanation

Edge-triggering provides more precise, single-event state changes synchronized to a specific clock transition, which is generally preferred in modern synchronous designs to avoid issues like "race-through" that can occur with level-sensitive latches.
