Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a multi-bit flip-flop circuit which uses unidirectional transistors to allow sharing of transistors among a set of flip-flops, while avoiding charge sharing within or between the flip-flops. Clock devices in the circuit can be shared to reduce the clock transistor gate capacitance and associated power consumption. The shared transistors can provide keeper circuits and/or tri-state inverters in a primary latch and a secondary latch in each flip-flop. One example implementation uses tri-state keeper sharing. Another example implementation uses tri-state keeper and/or pass gate sharing. Another example implementation uses pass gate sharing and no keeper.
