ABSTRACT:
A multi-threshold voltage complementary metal oxide semiconductor (MTCMOS) flip-flop, a circuit including the MTCMOS flip-flop, and a method of forming the MTCMOS flip-flop are disclosed. The MTCMOS flip-flop breaks a leakage current path during a sleep mode to retain an output data signal. The MTCMOS flip-flop typically further uses a data feedback unit to retain the output data signal.
