First Claim
1. An active-load dominant circuit for common-mode glitch interference cancellation, biased between a first voltage potential and a second voltage potential, comprising:
- a pair of pull-up networks for providing access to said first voltage potential in response to a clock signal or a complemented clock signal; and
a pair of active-load networks placed between said pair of pull-up networks and said second voltage potential, for generating at least one set signal and at least one reset signal for a latch, wherein said pair of active-load networks comprise at least one active device at each active-load network for accessing said second voltage potential in response to said clock signal or said complemented clock signal; and
said pair of pull-up networks comprise a first resistor and a first PMOS transistor in one pull-up network, said first resistor being connected in series with said first PMOS transistor, and comprise a second resistor and a second PMOS transistor in the other pull-up network, said second resistor being connected in series with said second PMOS transistor.

Abstract
An active-load dominant circuit for common-mode glitch interference cancellation, biased between a first voltage potential and a second voltage potential with an accompanying common-mode glitch interferer. The active-load dominant circuit includes a pair of pull-up networks and a pair of active-load networks. The common-mode glitch interferer is cancelled out due to a symmetric structure of the pair of pull-up networks. At least one set signal and at least one reset signal are provided to a latch in response to a clock signal or a complemented clock signal. At least one of the set signal and the reset signal can be pulled up to the first voltage potential or pulled down to the second voltage potential. The voltage difference of the set signal and the reset signal is large enough for a latch.
