Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method of operating a semiconductor device are provided. The semiconductor device includes a first latching circuit and a second latching circuit coupled to the first latching circuit. The second latching circuit includes a first feedback circuit and a first transmission circuit, the first feedback circuit configured to receive a first clock signal of a first phase and a second clock signal of a second phase, and the first transmission circuit configured to receive the second clock signal and a third clock signal of a third phase. The first feedback circuit is configured to be turned off by the first clock signal and the second clock signal before the first transmission circuit is turned on by the second clock signal and the third clock signal.
