Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first flip-flop that includes a first slave latch, a second flip-flop that includes a second slave latch, and a clock generation circuit that provides a common clock signal to the first flip-flop and the second flip-flop. The first slave latch includes a first inverter, a first feedback inverter that receives an output signal from the first inverter, and a first switch that is connected between an input terminal of the first inverter and an output terminal of the first feedback inverter. The first flip-flop outputs an output signal from the output terminal of the first feedback inverter.
Claims5
A semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising:
- a first flip-flop that includes a first input circuit, a first master latch that receives an output signal from the first input circuit, and a first slave latch that receives an output signal from the first master latch;
- a second flip-flop that includes a second input circuit, a second master latch that receives an output signal from the second input circuit, and a second slave latch that receives an output signal from the second master latch;
- and
- a clock generation circuit that provides a common clock signal to the first flip-flop and the second flip-flop, wherein
- the first slave latch includes a first inverter, a first feedback inverter that receives an output signal from the first inverter, and a first switch that is connected between an input terminal of the first inverter and an output terminal of the first feedback inverter, and
- the first flip-flop outputs a data output signal from the output terminal of the first feedback inverter to an outside of the semiconductor integrated circuit.
