Abstract

Embodiments of a flip-flip circuit are disclosed that may allow a reduction in data setup time and lower switching power. The flip-flop circuit may include an input circuit, an output circuit, a clock circuit, and a feedback circuit. The clock circuit may be operable to generate internal clocks dependent upon received data, and the generated internal clocks may enable the feedback and input circuits.
