Abstract

A circuit including: an input stage that includes a first input unit into which input data is input and a pair of first output units and is driven by a first power-supply voltage; a pair of first gate elements that includes first transistors, and is driven by a clock that includes a second power-supply voltage that is lower than the first power-supply voltage; a first latch circuit that includes a pair of second input units, and is driven by the first power-supply voltage; a pair of second gate elements that includes second transistors, and is driven by an inverted clock of the clock; and a second latch circuit that includes a pair of third input units, and a third output unit that outputs one of a pair of pieces of data, and is driven by the first power-supply voltage.
