Abstract:
A D-type flip-flop (DFF) includes an input circuit having a plurality of transistors configured to receive a clock signal and a data signal, a first inverter (INV1) having a pair of transistors, the first inverter configured to receive an input voltage (x) from the input circuit at a first inverter input, the first inverter configured to provide an output voltage (y) to a first inverter output, a second inverter (INV2) coupled to the first inverter (INV1), the second inverter having a second inverter input and a second inverter output, the second inverter input coupled to the first inverter output, a third inverter (INV3) coupled to the second inverter (INV2), the third inverter having a third inverter input and a third inverter output, and a current device coupled to the first inverter output, the current device configured to provide a current at the first inverter output.
