I am confused about the initial state of a NAND RS latch when it is powered on. When S=R=1 the latch stays in the previous state it was in ie memory. If R is 0 and S is 1 the output is 0. If R is 1 and S is 0 the output is 1. Well according to that I would set both inputs to one at start up because it should be in the memory state. Why is the output 0 when it is in the memory state of both R and S = 1? Does this have to do with the timing of the circuit because I can't determine if the output should be 0 or 1. Every explanation just tells me this is the way it is and I have no idea why. Please help! Thanks, I attached a NAND RS latch picture.
