Abstract
Signal value storage circuitryis provided which includes a first transistor stack, a second transistor stack and a third transistor stack. The signal value storage circuitry is controlled by a single clock signal. Keeper transistors and isolation transistors serve to permit static operation of the signal value storage circuitry (i.e. the clock signal may be stopped without losing state) and to prevent contention within the circuitry.
