Abstract
A method and circuit for operating a bistable latch are provided. The state of input data is latched on a first edge of a clock signal. In response to every first edge of the clock signal, a control circuit causes power boost circuit to couple first and second complementary output nodes of the bistable latch to a power source. In response to detecting stable operation of the bistable circuit, the control circuit causes power boost circuit to decouple the first and second complementary output nodes from the power source.
