Abstract :
A latch control circuit for two-phase micropipelines is presented. The circuit avoids the complex toggle element used in previous circuits and is verified using Milner´s Calculus of Communicating Systems process algebra. SPICE net-list simulations show the circuit to be faster and to consume less power than previous two-phase alternatives and to compare favorably with four-phase latch controllers
