Char Snapshot

Summary

Use this component to capture and store a character input at a specific moment, triggered by a clock signal.

Description

The **Char Snapshot** component captures the incoming character data at the moment a clock pulse is received on the *Snapshot* pin. This allows you to store a character value temporarily, which can be useful for applications where you need to remember a value for later comparison or processing.

- **Enabled**: When enabled, the component actively captures the incoming character on each clock pulse. When disabled, it passes the input through unmodified.

- **In (char)**: Receives the incoming character data to be captured.

- **Snapshot (Clock)**: The clock input that triggers the capture of the incoming character.

- **Out (char)**: Outputs the captured character value.

This component is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to store a character value temporarily, such as for debouncing inputs, implementing state machines, or capturing keypresses in a keyboard interface.
