18.2.2 Naming Conventions for Latches
The names for the latch cells are composed of the following four parts:
- A name identifying the logic function as a latch (LD)
- An optional 1-character code describing the Enable pin. L indicates active low. No code indicates active high
Storage Cells
- Asynchronous input type; an optional 1-character
code designating the control pins as follows:
- B = Active high, both set and clear
- C = Active high clear
- S = Active high set
When the latch has neither SET nor CLEAR pins, this code is omitted.
- An optional 1-character code describing the output polarity. I indicates output is inverted. No code indicates output is not inverted.
- LDL
- The cell is a transparent latch with active low enable and neither SET nor CLEAR pins.
- LDLSI
- The cell is a transparent latch with active low enable, active high SET pin and inverted output pin named QBAR.
