Abstract
A semiconductor circuit and a layout system of the semiconductor circuit, the semiconductor circuit including a latch; a feedback inverter that receives an output signal of the latch via a first node and provides a feedback signal to the latch responsive to the output signal of the latch; and an output driver which receives the output signal of the latch via the first node and provides an output signal externally of the semiconductor circuit. The output driver includes an even number of inverters, and the latch, the feedback inverter, and the output driver share a single active region formed without isolation.
