Abstract
This invention describes circuit techniques providing a means for achieving reliable data retention and low leakage current in single step latches with switch transistors. The techniques require changes only in the circuit configuration. Neither higher cost technology such as multiple-threshold LVT/HVT transistors nor special control circuits are needed.
