Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a multi-bit pulsed latch circuit for an integrated circuit design system may include a pulse generator and a plurality of latches. The pulse generator may be configured to generate pulses. The plurality of latches may operate as storage elements and are coupled to the pulse generator in a manner so that the multi-bit pulsed latch circuit provides functionality of at least two flip flop elements, wherein the multi-bit pulsed latch circuit can replace the at least two flip flop elements that normally would be used by the integrated circuit design system.
