A dual-supply voltage latch includes a data input node to receive an input data, internal nodes to hold the input data, and an output node to output an output data. The latch also includes clock input nodes to receive a clock signal. The data input, internal, and data output nodes are at a higher potential than the clock nodes. Since clock nodes are high activity nodes, less potential on these nodes reduces the energy consumed by the latch. Although the data nodes and clock nodes are at different potentials, the latch has reduced static power dissipation.
