D Latch: Permanently-Enabled Latch Debug

MediumLogic CircuitDebug

A D latch stores a single bit of data for temporary holding in memory registers.

Expected behavior:

| EN | D | Q (next) | |------|-----|------------| | 0 | 0 | Q (prev) | | 0 | 1 | Q (prev) | | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | 1 |

Simulation shows Q = 1 for inputs EN=0, D=1 immediately following a state where Q=0. The output tracks the data input continuously and fails to hold its state. Inspect the circuit and correct the fault.

Constraints

  • Do not replace the entire latch component
  • Only modify the wiring to restore the correct enable control logic
