Abstract
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> This paper presents new techniques to evaluate the energy and delay of flip-flop and latch designs and shows that no single existing design performs well across the wide range of operating regimes present in complex systems. We propose the use of a selection of flip-flop and latch designs, each tuned for different activation patterns and speed requirements. We illustrate our technique on a pipelined MIPS processor datapath running SPECint95 benchmarks, where we reduce total flip-flop and latch energy by over 60% without increasing cycle time. </para>
