Abstract |
A novel low voltage and low power true-single-phase flip-flop (FF) design is proposed in this paper. It is adapted from conventional Set-Reset latch based FF design and achieves circuit simplification by using virtual VDD scheme. The optimization measure leads to a new design providing better various performances. Based on post layout simulation results using the TSMC CMOS 180 nm technology, the proposed design outperforms the conventional TGFF by 68.7% in energy consumption (at 25% switching activity). |
