High-performance and Low-power Clock Branch Sharing Pseudo-NMOS Level Converting Flip-flop
Authors
Abstract:
Multi-Supply voltage design using Cluster Voltage Scaling (CVS) is an effective way to reduce power consumption without performance degradation. One of the major issues in this method is performance and power overheads due to insertion of Level Converting Flip-Flops (LCFF) at the interface from low-supply to high-supply clusters to simultaneously perform latching and level conversion. In this paper, an improved version of clocked pseudo-NMOS LCFF called Clock Branch Sharing pseudo-NMOS LCFF has been proposed, which combines the Conditional Discharge technique, pseudo-NMOS technique and Clock Branch Sharing technique. Based on Simulation results, the proposed flip-flop exhibits up to 32.5% delay reduction and saves power up to 8.1% as compared to clocked pseudo-NMOS LCFF.

This paper proposes a new double-edge-triggered implicitly level-converting flip-flop, suitable for a low-power and low-voltage design. The design employs a sense amplifier architecture to reduce the delay and power consumption. Experimentally, when implemented with a 130-nm, single-Vt and 0.84 V VDD process, it achieves 64% power-delay product (PDP) improvement, and moreover, 78% PDP improveme...

Low scaling technology makes a significant reduction in dimension and supply voltage, and lead to new challenges about power consumption such as increasing nodes sensitivity over radiation-induced soft errors in VLSI circuits. In this area, different design methods have been proposed to low power flip-flops and various research studies have been done to reach a suitable hardened flip-flops. In ...

Clustered Voltage Scaling (CVS) is an effective way to reduce power consumption in digital integrated circuits. Level-converting flip-flops are the critical elements in the CVS scheme. A single edge implicit pulse-triggered level-converting flip-flop with a conditional clock technique is used in the existing system. It increases the data switching activity due to longer delay. So the power cons...

In this paper, we propose the design of low power level-converting retention flip-flop (RFF)using LSSR technique for Zigbee System-onchips (SoCs).The proposed retention flip-flop allows the voltage regulator which generates the core supply voltage (VDD, core) is turned off during the standby mode and thus reduces the standby power and dc current of the Zigbee SoCs. This method is the combinatio...

Clustered voltage scaling scheme is an effective method of power consumption reduction without performance degradation. One of the main issues in this scheme is performance and power penalties due to insertion of level converting flip-flops at the interface from low-supply to high supply clusters to simultaneously perform latching and level converting functions.
