Abstract
A memory element includes a master flip-flop (1) intended to control a slave flip-flop (2) via a transfer variable (A). The slave flip-flop (2) consists of a first gate (2a) controlled by the transfer variable (A), a clock signal (CK) and a true output variable (Q), so as to deliver a complementary output variable (NQ), and a second gate (2b) controlled by the complementary output variable (NQ) and delivering the true output variable (Q). The master flip-flop (1) includes a first gate (1a) controlled by an input variable (D), the clock signal (CK) and a third variable which is formed by the transfer variable (A). The master flip-flop (1) also includes a second gate (1b) controlled by the output (B) from the first gate (1a) of the master flip-flop (1) and delivering the transfer variable (A). The first gate (2a) of slave flip-flop (2) includes, in order to accomplish the transfer of the input signal, only seven transistors at most.
