  3. Abstract • This paper describes the Differential Pass Transistor Pulsed Latch (DPTPL) which enhances D-Q delay and reduces power consumption using NMOS pass transistors and feedback PMOS transistors. • The power consumption of the proposed pulsed latch is reduced significantly due to the reduced clock load and smaller total transistor width compared to conventional differential flip-flops. • The simulations were performed in a 0.13 um CMOS technology at 1.2V supply voltage with 1.25GHz clock frequency.

  4. In a recent high frequency microprocessor, the clocking system consumed 70% of the total chip power consumption. • In the clocking system, 90% of the power is consumed by the flip-flops.

  5. Conventional flip-flops • The Master-Slave Latch (MSL) is a good candidate for low power applications. • Hybrid latch flip-flop (HLFF) and semi-dynamic flip-flop (SDFF) have small delay at the cost of power consumption. • Sense amplifier-based flip-flops (SAFF) and modified sense amplifier-based flip-flops (MSAFF) as well as differential type flip-flops. • The ep-SFF has the advantages of lower power consumption and small delay. • The modified SDFF (MSDFF) is one of the fastest flip-flops.

  8. Simulation conditions and test bench • First, all flip-flops are simulated in a 0.13 um CMOS technology at 100◦C with 1.2V supply voltage and normal process corners. The operating clock frequency in this simulation is 1.25GHz. • For fair comparison of simulation results, all of the flip-flops are optimized to have minimum E×D with the same output load of 25fF. • Secondly, for chip testing, Operating frequency in thissimulation is 1GHz.

  15. Conclusion • DPTPL, utilizing the strong drivability of NMOS with positive feedback PMOS transistors, enables faster operation than their conventional counterparts. • It also has an advantage of lower power consumption mainly due to simplicity and smaller clock load, and total gate width. • DPTPL reduces E×D by 45.5% over ep-SFF,which have the best characteristics in our simulations among the conventional flip-flops.
