  • Abstract
    A novel low-power sense-amplifier-based flip-flop (FF) is presented. Using a simplified single-ended pass transistor-based latch design, the loading of the sense amplifier is greatly alleviated, which facilitates a size reduced sense-amplifier design as well. These factors improve the power consumption and the delay of the FF design substantially and the performance claims are verified through extensive post-layout simulations.
