Abstract
A master-slave flip-flop device wherein the master segment employs function and load isolated outputs driven in parallel with cross-coupled latch transistors is described. Signal feed forward may also be provided from a similarly isolated output of the master segment to a device output gate which also receives the otherwise final output of the slave segment. The device is found to exhibit a minimized duration of the undesired metastable state of the master segment and to, thereby, enhance propagation speed in which a stable state is established.
