Abstract
The typical gating means (four) in a master/slave flip flop are duplicated for each input signal to be multiplexed through the flip flop and a separate control signal is applied to each set of four gating means for determining which of the plurality of input signals is to be passed through the flip flop. While for a single flip flop there is no advantage in reduction of components, when the flip flop is used as one of a plurality of flip flops such as in a register, the reduction of components (used for multiplexing) is very significant.
