Abstract
An integrated circuit of an embodiment may comprise synchronous logic, combinational logic, and clock circuitry to clock the synchronous logic through various states dependent on the combinational logic. The synchronous logic may comprise a plurality of master-slave registers. The combinational logic is configured to drive data inputs of the synchronous logic dependent on states established by the master-slave registers. The clock circuitry is configured to clock the master portion of the master-slave registers with a lag rendering of a clock signal and to clock the slave portion of the registers with a lead rendering of the clock signal. In a particular example, the circuitry may define a frequency divider of a complementary CMOS realization.
