hi there,
so i was watching a video about building a 1 bit register(made by Ben eater i guess). he explains that we have a SR flip-flop as the storing unit and we need to add a "load" to it so we have a register.
then he starts adding some gates and he comes up with a design like the picture bellow.
and then, i came up with an alternative design like this:
and it worked. but when i continued watching the video, he introduced the 74LS174 which has the same design as he made :
and now i keep thinking why is that ? i am sure that the engineers who designed this chip (and Ben) are experts and gave it a lot of thoughts. so what's the reason they made it this complicated ? is there a problem with my design ? or what ?
thank you in advance and sorry if i was not clear enough,
with regards,
Ali
