Latch Design Trade Study

[discount-cactus]

The bistable storage latch on the LVDC project has been a persistent issue since the beginning so I am finally opening an issue specifically for tackling the design.

Design as of 4/2/23: The design was changed again and utilizes a CD4002BE quad 2-input NOR gate to simplify the circuit from 12 components to 1.

4/13/2023: Initial testing was done with the design and the circuit looks promising, however the outputs are inverted due to the IC being a dual 4-input NOR gate instead of an OR gate.

4/15/2023: The previous comment is full of cap and the design with the CD4002BE dual 4-input NOR gate works. Progress on the LVDC will continue with this design.
