    Abstract: An integrated circuit may include a clock gating cell based. The clock gating cell may include a first 2-input logic gate configured to receive a clock input and a first signal and generate a second signal, an inverter configured to receive the second signal and generate a clock output, and a 3-input logic gate including a second 2-input logic gate configured to generate the first signal. The first 2-input logic gate and the second 2-input logic gate form a set reset (SR) latch by being cross-coupled, the 3-input logic gate includes a feedback transistor configured to exclusively receive an internal signal of the first 2-input logic gate, and an activation of the feedback transistor by the internal signal is configured to avoid a race condition by preventing a pull-up or a pull-down of a first node at which the first signal is generated.

    Abstract: A flip-flop circuit may include a selection circuit, a master latch circuit and a slave latch circuit. The selection circuit includes a multiplexer and first and second inverters. The multiplexer outputs a data signal or a scan input signal to a first node in response to an enable signal. The first inverter is connected to the first node and provides an inversion of a signal of the first node to a second node in response to a clock signal. The second inverter is connected to the second node and provides an inversion of the signal of the second node to a third node in response to the clock signal and a signal of a fourth node. The master latch circuit is connected between the third and fourth nodes. The slave latch circuit is connected between the fourth node and an output terminal of the flip-flop circuit.
