Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A first flipflop outputs a first signal synchronized with a first clock signal. In the first transistor, the first clock signal is input to a first terminal and the second signal is output from a second terminal. In the fourth transistor, a first signal is input to a first terminal and a second terminal is electrically connected to a gate of the first transistor. In the sixth transistor, the third signal is input to a first terminal, a second terminal is electrically connected to the gate of the fourth transistor, and the gate of the sixth transistor is electrically connected to the first terminal.
