ABSTRACT:
A high speed bi-polar D latch circuit uses cross-coupled current-biased buffering transistors to block control current from output resistors so that the clock and data controls are not connected directly to the outputs of the latch. The memory cell portion of the latch which controls the latch output is constantly biased. Latch output swing is minimally affected by clock/data switching due to the buffering action of the emitter followers on the latch outputs. Changing the latch state is accomplished by changing the base-emitter voltage of the buffering transistors through the emitter followers. The circuit provides greater noise immunity at latch outputs during clock transitions and faster rise/fall times of output waveforms.
