A flip-flop circuit that includes a set of three p-channel connectors connected in parallel between a supply voltage (Vdd) and a first control node. The circuit further includes three n-channel transistors connected in series between the first control node and Vss. The first control node controls the gate of a p-channel transistor connected between Vdd and an output node. A set of n-channel transistors is connected between the output node and ground. The gates of these transistors are controlled by the clock signal, a delayed clock signal, and an inverted copy of the data signal, which is provided, via a control inverter, to a second control node. The first control node drives the output node to a first state and the second control node drives the output node to a second state. The first and second control nodes are preferably decoupled.
