Fault resistant flip-flop

摘要

A flip-flop (10) is disclosed comprising a slave latch (30) and a master latch (20). Each of the slave and master latch comprise a pair of cross-coupled logic gates (21, 22, 31, 32). A cross coupling connection of the slave or master latch (30, 20) comprises a resistive element (8, 9, 11, 12) arranged to reduce the sensitivity of the flip-flop (10) to a current injection.
