Abstract
A flip-flop circuit is disclosed. The flip-flop circuit includes pull-up and pull-down circuits each coupled to a data input and configured to be activated responsive to a clock signal transition from a first phase to a second phase, depending on the input data. A write circuit is configured to write data into a latch of the flip-flop responsive to activation of one of the pull-up and pull-down circuits. An output driver circuit includes a dynamic portion and a static portion, with the dynamic portion being activated responsive to activation of one of the pull-up and pull-down circuits. Activation of the dynamic portion may occur concurrently with writing of the data into the latch. The output driver circuit also includes a static portion. After the clock transitions back to the first phase, the static portion may drive and hold the output while the dynamic portion is deactivated.
