    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate, first through third power rails, first through third selection gate lines, and a row connection wiring. The first through third power rails on the semiconductor substrate extend in a first direction and arranged sequentially in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first through third selection gate lines on the semiconductor substrate extend in the second direction over a first region between the first power rail and the second power rail and a second region between the second power rail and the third power rail, and are arranged sequentially in the first direction. The row connection wiring on the semiconductor substrate extends in the first direction to connect the first selection gate line and the third selection gate line.

    Abstract: A sequential circuit includes a first gate circuit, a second gate circuit and an output circuit. The first circuit generates a first signal based on an input signal, an input clock signal and a second signal. The second circuit generates an internal clock signal by performing a NOR operation on the first signal and an inversion clock signal which is inverted from the input clock signal, and generates the second signal based on the internal clock signal and the input signal. The output circuit generates an output signal based on the second signal. Operation speed of the sequential circuit and the integrated circuit including the same may be increased by increasing the negative setup time reflecting a transition of the input signal after a transition of the input clock signal, through mutual controls between the first circuit and the second circuit.
