ABSTRACT:
In a flip-flop circuit which includes an input section using a dynamic circuit and an output section using a static circuit and which captures data during a period of a pulse width shorter than a clock cycle, the number of transistors, circuit area and power consumption are reduced. In FIG.1,an output signal of an inverter circuit INV1constituting a latch circuit2connected to the output terminal of an input section1is used as an input signal of a control section3.Thus, a control signal output from the control section3to the input section1is stabilized, thereby suppressing unnecessary operation of circuit elements and reducing unnecessary power consumption. In addition, the configuration of the control section3is simplified. As a result, the number of transistors constituting the circuit and the circuit area can be reduced.
