Abstract

A shift register circuit may include a first latch capable of latching an input signal in synchronization with a first clock, a first flip-flop capable of latching the output signal of the first latch in synchronization with a second dock having the same skew as the first clock, a second latch capable of latching the output signal of the first flip-flop in synchronization with a third clock having a different skew from the second clock, and a second flip-flop capable of latching the output signal of the second latch circuit in synchronization with a fourth clock having the same skew as the third clock.
