Abstract
An edge-triggered flip-flop is provided that includes one or more storage nodes and a pre-charge circuit in communication with the storage circuit. The storage circuit is configured to pre-charge the one or more storage nodes to a pre-determined voltage potential. The storage circuit further includes a first pull-down logic circuit in communication with the storage circuit and separate second pull-down logic circuit in communication with the storage circuit. The first pull-down logic circuit is configured to discharge one or more of the pre-charged storage nodes in response to first input data and the second pull-down logic circuit is configured to discharge one or more of the pre-charged storage nodes in response to second input data.
