Abstract

A static bistable flip-flop circuit using CMOS technology. The flip-flop reduces the number of CMOS transistors by not using two complimentary transistors in parallel for certain switches. This reduces the risk of transparency which is inherent with conventional CMOS complimentary transistors. Between the input and output of the circuit there is only a first N channel transistor, a first inverter, a second N channel transistor and a second inverter connected in series.
