Abstract
PURPOSE:To execute a high speed operation by connecting each input terminal and output terminal of two clock gates, respectively, and providing a data transfer gate on each connecting point of the input terminal and the output terminal, respectively. CONSTITUTION:When a clock signal phi becomes '1', a data DI and an opposite phase DI are supplied to nodes N3, N4 through clocked inverters 171, 172 (data transfer gates), respectively. When a clock signal of an opposite phase becomes '1', the potential of the nodes N3, N4 are amplified and latched by clocked inverters 181, 182 (clocked gates). In this case, even if a circuit threshold value of the inverters 171, 172 is varied, these nodes N3, N4 are corrected to a correct potential immediately by the inverters 181, 182, if a magnitude relation of the potential of the nodes N3, N4 is correct. In this way, a high speed operation can be executed.
