Abstract
Abstract A logic circuit is disclosed comprised of two separate but connectable sections, namely a complex gate section and a delay section. The gate section has five input terminals for receiving data and/or control input signals and a single output, the delay section having a single input and two outputs providing a 1-bit delay output and a complemented 1-bit delay. By means of various interconnections the circuit can provide a wide range of functional devices including various flip-flop arrangements with clear and load capabilities.
