Abstract:
An integrated circuit might comprise an input flip-flop block clocked by a first clock having a first clock period, an output of the input flip-flop block for outputting data clocked by the first clock, a first logic block implementing a desired logic function, an input of the first logic block, coupled to the input flip-flop block, an output flip-flop block clocked by a second clock having a period equal to the first clock period and derived from a common source as the first clock, and an input of the output flip-flop block, coupled to an output of the first logic block. A first logic block delay can be at least the first clock period plus a specified delay excess and the second clock can be delayed by at least the specified delay excess. The first logic block might be a portion of a CAM block and/or a TCAM block.
