Abstract
A circuit array for amplifying and holding data with different supply voltages includes a first flip-flop being constructed in MOS technology for receiving a low supply voltage and data with a low supply voltage. The first flip-flop has output terminals. A second flip-flop being constructed in MOS technology receives a high supply voltage. The second flip-flop has a load segment and output terminals. At least one additional MOS transistor is connected in series with each of the output terminals of the second flip-flop between the load segment and ground. The at least one additional MOS transistor each has a gate terminal being connected to a respective one of the output terminals of the first flip-flip. A device for activating the first and second flip-flops is triggered for amplifying and holding the data to activate the first flip-flop and to activate the second flip-flop after a time delay.
