INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240204759 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME
The abstract describes a flip-flop design with two sets of transistors of different types located in separate rows, each set including a master latch circuit.
- The flip-flop includes a first set of transistors of a first type in a first row and a second set of transistors of a second type in a second row.
- The first and second sets of transistors each contain a master latch circuit.
- The master latch circuits are separated by a distance in the first direction.
- The output signals of the master latch circuits serve as input signals for each other.

Original Abstract Submitted
a flip-flop includes a first set of transistors of a first type being located in a first row and a second set of transistors of a second type being located in a second row. the second type being different from the first type. the first and second set of transistors include a first master latch circuit and a second master latch circuit. the first and second master latch circuit are separated from each other in the first direction by a first distance. a first output signal of the first and second master latch circuit is a first input signal of the first master latch circuit and the second master latch circuit. a second output signal of the first and second master latch circuit is a second input signal of the first and second master latch circuit.
