An SR latch is implemented using TTL gates as shown in the figure. The set and reset pulse inputs are provided using the push-button switches. It is observed that the circuit fails to work as desired. The SR latch can be made functional by changing Correct Answer 5 V to ground

Concept:

  • In the TTL logic gate, open-end or floating end are considered as logic-1.
  • For the circuit to work as an S & R latch, S & R should act as logic-0 as well as logic- 1 on requirement.

Analysis:

  • If we connect set which is equal to 5 volts, then it will be considered as logic-1.
  • If we do not connect 5 Volts to set switch i.e. if we make set switch ‘open’ then it will again be considered as a logic -1, because it is a TTL gate.
  • So we have to replace 5 V supply with 0 Volts by connecting it to ground. So logic-0 is also possible for switch ‘set’ & ‘reset’.

Hence for the above circuit to work as an SR latch, 5-volt battery should connect to ground.

Hence option -4 is Correct.
