Abstract
A flip-flop including a first stage and a second stage. The first stage receives a pair of differential signals to generate a set and reset signal. The complement of the set and reset signal generates output signals Q and {overscore (Q)}′. These signals have rising and falling transistors with the same delays for the Q signal and the {overscore (Q)} signal. The second stage has symmetrical pull-up and pull-down circuits.
