ABSTRACT:
An inverting stage transfers binary signals from an input signal source to a latch circuit when the inverting stage and the latch are operated at similar voltages. Following data transfer, the operating voltage across the latch is increased. The inverting stage includes a diode which enables the transfer of binary signals between the inverting stage and the latch but which blocks the flow of current between them when the voltage across the latch is increased. The voltage levels of the output signals of the latch increase in correspondence with the increase in the operating voltage but the logic state to which the latch was set is maintained and there is no steady state current conduction between the inverting stage and the latch.
