Abstract
A flip-flop circuit with metastability reduction having two internal flip-flops connected in a parallel configuration relative to an input line with a input data delay connected to the data input of one of the flip-flops. The outputs are combined and since at least one of the flip-flop outputs should be stable, if the output of one of the flip-flop goes into a metastable state, the output of the other flip-flop will stabilize it, thus producing a stable output.
