SINUSOIDAL CLOCKED SENSE-AMPLIFIER-BASED ENERGY RECOVERY FLIP-FLOPS

Energy recovery clocking is an ultimate solution to the ultra low power sequential digital circuit design. In this paper, we present a new slave latch for a sense-amplifier based flip-flop (SAFF). Energy recovery sinusoidal clock is applied to the low power SAFF. Extensive simulation based comparisons among reported and proposed SAFF are carried-out at 90 nm CMOS technology node. The proposed flip-flop operating with energy recovery single phase sinusoidal clock shows better performance. The proposed flip-flop also reduces the leakage current and glitch.
