A D latch is an electronic circuit that operates like a flip-flop but uses a data signal instead of a clock to control the transparency of the circuit. It functions as a transparent latch when the data signal is high, allowing the output to follow the input, and acts as a non-transparent latch when the data signal is low, holding the previous output value. D latches provide an alternative circuit topology to static flip-flops for storing state in response to a data signal rather than a clock.
