LATCH OR PHASE DETECTOR DEVICE

The invention relates to a circuit device, into which a first signal and a second signal are input, wherein a first switching array is provided, by means of which it is determined which of the two signals, is the first to change its state. The circuit device may also have a second switching array, which emits an output signal, which when the first signal first has changed its state, changes its state in reaction to a change in the state of the first signal, and, when the second signal first has changed its state, changes its state in reaction to a change in the state of the first signal.
