Abstract
Circuitry is configured to store data in response to a phase transition of an input clock. The circuitry uses a master-slave latch configuration. Each of the master and slave latches includes respective feedback circuits, input circuits, and selection circuits. The feedback circuits drive outputs of the respective latches to values that are responsive to data stored in the latches. The input circuits drive the output of the respective latches to values that are responsive to data on an input of the latches. The selection circuits select between the feedback and input circuits based upon the phase of a clock signal.
