Abstract

In recent years, energy saving techniques have become critical in hardware designs, especially for mobile devices. This paper has reviewed several previous designs of double edge-triggered flip-flops, and has proposed a transmission-gate-based double edge-triggered flip-flop with a clock-gating function. Comparing to the previous work of double edge-triggered flip-flops, the proposed one saved 33.14% power on average (switching activity factor = 0-0.4) and it can save up to 97.85% power compared to conventional single edg-etriggered flip-flops when the input is idle. In addition, the proposed design also improved performance by reducing Clk-to-Q latency by 0.21 ns.
