Abstract :
Pulsed-latch circuits retain the advantages of both latches and flip-flops, offering higher performance and lower power consumption within a conventional ASIC design environment. This article identifies a design methodology and tools for pulsed-latch ASICs to complement this environment. The authors review potential solutions and provide quantitative results to assess the effectiveness of pulsed-latch circuits.
