Abstract
A first latching circuit transferring an input signal from the input terminal to the output terminal for a predetermined period in response to a level transition timing of one direction of a clock signal input to the clock terminal, and maintaining a signal condition of the output terminal in the remaining period, and a second latching circuit transferring an input signal from the input terminal to the output terminal for a predetermined period in response to a level transition timing of the other direction of the clock signal input to the clock terminal, and maintaining a signal condition of the output terminal in the remaining period, are provided. A desired logic circuit is connected between the first and second latching circuits. By synchronously operating the first and second latching circuits by supplying a common clock signal, a clock synchronization circuit not influenced by fluctuation of the device, fluctuation of temperature or power source can be formed.
