Circuitos Digitais - Elementos de Armazenamento

univesp.br Computer Engineering - ELE300 Univesp - Virtual University of the State of São Paulo Professor: André Ricardo Fioravanti In this video lesson, we will discover how, using a logic gate feedback connection, we can create elements capable of storing information. In particular, we will learn about latches and flip-flops. We will understand the difference in how an external signal, called a clock, acts on these devices. This week will be dedicated to studying another class of components essential to a computer system: storage elements. We will learn about two categories of devices: latches and flip-flops (FFs). From these devices, through proper connections, we can build various types of shift registers. We will end the week studying how these devices can be described in VHDL. Skills and Competencies By the end of this week, you should be able to: -Understand the construction of latches and flip-flops using logic gates and distinguish between them; -Understand the role of the clock signal in register operation; -Build shift registers with different loading methods; -Implement these circuits in hardware description language.
