Abstract

A flip-flop circuit comprising: a master latch circuit; a slave latch circuit coupled to the master latch circuit; and a correction circuit for increasing an amount of charge that can be absorbed by the master latch circuit in response to a soft-error event when the slave latch circuit is in a transparent phase and when both the master and slave latch circuits are storing the same data.
