Abstract
An improved polarity hold latch is described having a set and reset capability integrated therein. As implemented, this latch provides the desired logical functions at a reduced circuit cost and power requirements. At the same time, it overcomes the need to test for and resolve potential signal race conditions. The improved latch is particularly susceptible of being implemented on a single chip.
