The MC1030 is a clocked dual D-type latch. Any change in the D input will be reflected at the output while the clock is low. The outputs are latched on the clock's positive transition. Also, this device features set and reset inputs that do not override the clock and D inputs. They are effective only when one of the clock inputs is high. Even though this integrated circuit is supposed to work as a latch circuit, it can also be made to function as an R-S flip-flop. No external hardware is required, except for an RC combination for power-on reset. Also, a clock is not necessary for its operation. That is because this latch integrated circuit is supplied with R and S inputs for latch initialization.
