Abstract

A latch circuit includes a power supply node, first and second input nodes, and first and second output nodes. A first switching device is coupled between the first and second output nodes and is turned on and off in response to respective first and second states of a clock signal. A first transistor has a source coupled with a common node, a drain coupled with the second output node, and a gate directly coupled with the first input node, and a second transistor has a source coupled with the common node, a drain coupled with the first output node, and a gate directly coupled with the second input node. A second switching device is coupled between the common node and the power supply node and is turned on and off in response to the respective second and first states of the clock signal.
