ABSTRACT:
A CML master-slave latch incorporates logic into its master latching circuitry to incorporate a multiplexing function into the flip-flop. The multiplexing logic makes use of the pull-up loads and current source of the master latching circuitry. In this manner the pull-up loads and current source typically required for a stand-alone multiplexor are eliminated. Subsequently, the size of the present hybrid master-slave latch is smaller and consumes less power than a traditional combination of an independent multiplexor and master-slave latch. Since the master latching circuitry feeds only into the slave latching circuitry, the pull-up loads and the current sources of the master latching circuitry and slave latching circuitry may be optimized separately for achieving faster performance or less power consumption.
