Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a master latch circuit having a first clock input and a data output, a slave latch circuit having a second clock input and a data input electrically coupled to the data output of the master latch circuit, and a clock circuit. The clock circuit is electrically coupled to the first clock input by a first electrical connection configured to have a first time delay between the clock circuit and the first clock input. The clock circuit is electrically coupled to the second clock input by a second electrical connection configured to have a second time delay between the clock circuit and the second clock input. The first time delay is longer than the second time delay.
