US Patent 7164302 One gate delay output noise insensitive latch

A one gate delay output noise insensitive latch includes an input node, an output node, a storage node, a not storage node, and a data clock line. A primary latch element is connected to the input node, the output node, and the data clock line. A mirror primary latch element is connected to the input node in parallel with the primary latch element, to the storage node, and to the data clock line. A weak keeper is connected to the storage node and to the not storage node. A strong enabled tri-state keeper is connected to the not storage node, to the data clock line, and to the output node. The input node is either a dynamic data input node or a static data input node. Optionally, the weak keeper is also clock enabled.
