<p>A latch circuit employs a feedback arrangement comprising a transmission gate circuit (123) that conducts only when the output node (122) is in a mid-voltage state. At the onset of a metastable state, the feedback arrangement forces a receiving node (102) into its previous stable state, thereby forcing the output node into a stable state. This eliminates or reduces the possibility that the latch could remain hung for an indefinite period in a metastable state. <IMAGE></p> |
