Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a structure and related method to delay data signals through a data path using a lockup latch driven by the inverse of a clock signal. A structure according to the disclosure provides a launch pulse latch coupled to a capture pulse latch through a data path. The data path includes a combinational logic for processing signals within the data path. An edge of a clock signal drives the launch pulse latch and the capture pulse latch. A lockup latch is within the data path between the launch pulse latch and the capture pulse latch. An inverse of the clock signal drives the lockup latch.
