SET/RESET LATCH WITH MINIMUM SINGLE EVENT UPSET

摘要

A method and latch circuits are provided for implementing enhanced noise immunity performance. Each latch circuit includes an L1 latch and an L2 latch coupled to the L1 latch. Data is first latched in the L1 latch during a first half clock cycle and then latched in the L2 latch during a second half clock cycle. A path opposite a latched data state is gated off in both the L1 latch and the L2 latch, where a path to a voltage supply rail is gated off with a latched low data state and a path to ground is gated off with a latched high data state.
