Abstract

An input circuit of a flip-flop includes: a first gate strip, a second gate strip and a third gate strip. The first gate strip is a co-gate terminal of a first PMOS and a first NMOS; the second gate strip is disposed immediately adjacent to the first gate strip, and a co-gate terminal of a second PMOS and a second NMOS. The first PMOS and the second PMOS share a doping region as a co-source terminal. The first NMOS and the second NMOS share a doping region as a co-source terminal. The third gate strip is disposed immediately adjacent to the second gate strip. The third gate strip is a co-gate terminal of a third PMOS and a third NMOS. The second PMOS and the third PMOS share a doping region as a co-drain terminal. The second NMOS and the third NMOS share a doping region as a co-drain terminal.
