FWIW I'm told that decades ago latches were implemented as a tristate driver followed by an inverter or buffer. The source & drain cap, along with gate & wire cap, acted as the memory.
- Taniwha 7y agoThat's how DRAMs work today
- ip26 7y agoIn the narrow sense that capacitance retains the value instead of a bistable pair, sure
