Abstract
A master latch () is formed from a static circuit, and a slave latch () is formed from a dynamic circuit. The number of circuit elements can be smaller as compared to a slave latch formed from a static circuit so that the size and area of a master-slave flip-flop can be reduced. Since the master latch is formed from a static circuit, data can be held stably during the standby time by setting the master latch in a data holding state.
