Abstract

An electronic circuit includes a clock control unit having a first input for receiving a first clock signal, a second input for receiving a second clock signal, a first clock output, and a second clock output, a first flip-flop having a first data input, a first clock input connected to the first clock output, and a first output, and a second flip-flop having a second data input, a second clock input connected to the second clock output, and a second data input connected to the first output of the first flip-flop. The clock control unit provides the first clock signal to the first clock input of the first flip-flop through the first clock output and the second clock signal to the clock input of the second flip-flop through the second clock output terminal in a sequential order.
