This paper describes a novel high-speed fliip-flop circuit named the High-speed Latching Operation Flip-Flop (HLO-FF) for GaAs SCFL Logic. We reveal the high-speed operation mechanism of HLO-FF using newly proposed analytical propagation delay time expressions. A design methodology for series gated master slave flip-flops and HLO-FFs based on these expressions is also proposed. A SPICE simulation and the fabrication of two decision ICs confirm the acuracy of our analytical method and the high speed operation of a HLO-FF decision circuit at: 19 Gb/s.
