I understand some stuff about logic. (i.e. and gates, or gates, nor gates, etc). What i dont understand is how to really use them.
Say i have a chip that is full of "and" gates. pushing 2 switches together makes the output positive and it turns on an LED or whatever. How do you keep the light on? Does the light stay on until you hit the reset for the chip?
I think i understand what you guys mean about the latches though. These types of chips would sustain power to the output until a reset is enabled.
