Abstract

The present invention provides a double edge trigger D-type flip-flop which can be both triggered at the rising edge and falling edge of a clock. That is to say, the double edge trigger D-type flip-flop of the present invention can access data twice in a clock cycle. Therefore, the double edge trigger D-type flip-flop of the present invention is capable of providing a double accessed data amount than that of a conventional rising (or falling) edge trigger D-type flip-flop, thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of the system.
