Abstract
In an N-channel MOS integrated circuit operating in response to a major-major clock having four phases, .phi.1, .phi.2, .phi.3 and .phi.4, each of which has one, but only one, other phase which does not overlap therewith, an improved gate is disclosed wherein a first one of said phases samples an input signal for retention via a capacitive device, a second one of said phases is gated according to the state of the sample retained via the capacitive device, and a third one of said phases enhances the retention of the capacitive device.
