Abstract
In this paper, a new technique for implementing low-energy double-edge triggered flip-flops is introduced. The new technique employs a clock branch-sharing scheme to reduce the number of clocked transistors in the design. The newly proposed design also employs conditional discharge and split-path techniques to further reduce switching activity and short-circuit currents, respectively. As compared to the other state of the art double-edge triggered flip-flop designs, the newly proposed CBS_ip design has an improvement of up to 20% and 12.4% in view of power consumption and PDP, respectively.
