Abstract:
A flip-flop circuit includes a first latch, a trigger stage and a second latch. The first latch is configured to latch a selected signal in response to a first state of a clock signal, and provide a first output signal. The trigger stage receives the clock signal and the first output signal to provide a trigger signal. The trigger signal does not toggle as the clock signal transits. The second latch is configured to latch the trigger signal in response to a second state of the clock signal, and provide a second output signal. The first state and the second state of the clock signal are complementary to each other.
