Abstract :
This paper compares four previously published static dual-edge-triggered flip-flops (DETFFs) with a proposed design for their performance, power dissipation, and low-voltage low-power applications. For each DETFF, the optimal delay, power consumption, and power-delay product are determined as the primary figures of merit. The proposed design is shown to have the least energy at low voltages.
