Two novel low power flip-flops are presented in the paper. Proposed flip-flops use new gating techniques that reduce power dissipation deactivating the clock signal. Presented circuits overcome the clock duty-cycle limitation of previously reported gated flipflops. Circuit simulations with the inclusion of parasitics show that sensible power dissipation reduction is possible if input signal has reduced switching activity. A 16-bit counter is presented as a simple low power application.

Abstract

Two novel low power flip-flops are presented in the paper. Proposed flip-flops use new gating techniques that reduce power dissipation deactivating the clock signal. Presented circuits overcome the clock duty-cycle limitation of previously reported gated flipflops. Circuit simulations with the inclusion of parasitics show that sensible power dissipation reduction is possible if input signal has reduced switching activity. A 16-bit counter is presented as a simple low power application.
