Abstract :
Conditional capture and conditional precharge techniques for high-performance flip-flops are reviewed in terms of power and delay. It is found that application of conditional techniques can improve energy-delay product for up to 14% for 50% input activity and save more than 50% in power consumption for quiet input. This property makes conditional methods suitable for high-performance VLSI systems
