Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first bit flip-flop and a second flip-flop. The first flip-flop has a first driving capability. The second flip-flop has a second driving capability different from the first driving capability. The first flip-flop and the second flip-flop are part of a multibit flip-flop configured to share at least a first clock pin. The first clock pin is configured to receive the first clock signal.
