    Abstract: A digital down converter includes a low resolution mixer, a decimation filter, and a high resolution mixer. The low resolution mixer is configured to receive a digitized radio frequency signal, and apply a first down conversion to the radio frequency signal to produce an intermediate frequency signal. The decimation filter is coupled to the low resolution mixer. The decimation filter is configured to receive the intermediate frequency signal, and reduce a sampling rate of the intermediate frequency signal to produce a decimated intermediate frequency signal. The high resolution mixer is coupled to the decimation filter. The high resolution mixer is configured to receive the decimated intermediate frequency signal, and apply a second down conversion to the decimated intermediate frequency signal to produce a down converted signal.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a flip-flop that utilizes low power as a result of reduced transistor count. The flip-flop includes a tri-state inverter that receives a flip-flop input and a clock input. A master latch is coupled to an output of the tri-state inverter and provides a control signal to the tri-state inverter. The control signal activates the tri-state inverter. A slave latch receives an output of the master latch and the control signal. An output inverter is coupled to an output of the slave latch and generates a flip-flop output.
