Abstract
In an embodiment, a latch device includes a latch circuit configured to latch a binary data value based on the functional clock signal being in the active phase and output the binary data value until a different data value is received at a data input node. The latch circuit includes a plurality of gates, including a plurality of clocked gates and a plurality of non-clocked gates. The plurality of clocked gates includes a maximum of three clocked gates. Each of the plurality of non-clocked gates persists in a static state as long as the latch device stores a logic zero and the binary data value at the data input node is logic zero.
