Edge-triggered latch with balanced pass-transistor logic trigger

摘要

An edge-triggered latch that incorporates pass-transistor logic (PTL) in the data and clock generation paths. In accordance with one embodiment, an edge-triggered latch includes a data input and at least one data path PTL transistor that passes data from the data input into a storage node in response to a latch trigger signal. A latch trigger circuit generates the latch-trigger signal in response to a clock signal transition.
