Philosophical Ideals: Socrates to Kant
Socratic Ideal

When both inputs to a NOR gate are low, the output will be high. S-R latch circuits have two stable states, making them bistable. Transistor switching occurs in nanoseconds. Timing dependencies causing incorrect output are known as hazards. Combinational circuits lack memory; their output depends solely on inputs. The flip-flop was invented in 1918. A flip-flop changes state at the positive or negative edge of a clock signal. Events drive both asynchronous and synchronous
