Abstract: A pulse-based flip flop circuit includes a pulse generator generating a pulse signal and an inverted pulse signal, a scan hold buffer holding a scan input signal for a delay time, and a latch circuit including an intermediate node receiving either a data signal or the scan input signal responsive to a scan enable signal, the pulse signal and the inverted pulse signal. The pulse generator circuit includes a direct path providing a clock signal as a direct path input to a NAND circuit; a delay path including a number of plural stages that delay the clock signal and provide a delayed clock signal as a delay path input to the NAND circuit that performs a NAND operation on the direct path and delay path inputs to generate the inverted pulse signal; and a feedback path providing the pulse signal to a first stage among the stages of the delay path.

Abstract: A synchronization circuit includes a first synchronizer, a second synchronizer, and selection circuitry. The first synchronizer is configured to synchronize a received signal to a clock signal. The second synchronizer is disposed in parallel with the first synchronizer and configured to synchronize the received signal to the clock signal. The selection circuitry is coupled to the first synchronizer and the second synchronizer. The selection circuitry is configured to provide an output value generated by the first synchronizer at an output terminal of the synchronization circuit based on the output value generated by the first synchronizer being the same as an output value generated by the second synchronizer.

Abstract: A multi-phase clock generation circuit is configured to generate a multi-phase non-overlapping clock signal and includes a loop structure, where input ends and output ends of a plurality of logic gates are electrically coupled head to tail to form the loop structure; and a plurality of latches configured to latch signals at the input ends of the logic gates. The multi-phase clock generation circuit performs a logical operation based on selection signals and clock signals that are received at the logic gates, latches data of upper-stage logic gates that is received at logic gates in a loop through the latches, and outputs multi-phase non-overlapping clock signals through the output ends of the logic gates.

Abstract: A parasitic-aware single-edge triggered flip-flop reduces clock power through layout optimization, enabled through process-circuit co-optimization. The static pass-gate master-slave flip-flop utilizes novel layout optimization enabling significant power reduction. The layout removes the clock poly over notches in the diffusion area. Poly lines implement clock nodes. The poly lines are aligned between n-type and p-type active regions.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a synchronisation system that receives a signal clocked by a first clock signal having a first frequency and receives a second clock signal having said first frequency, but offset in phase from the first clock signal. The signal is delayed by an adjustable delay period. It is determined whether, following a logic transition in the delayed signal, the next clock edge received is an active edge or is a non-active edge. A calibration controller increases the delay period when the next clock edge is a non-active edge and maintains or decreases the delay period when the next clock edge is an active edge, or decreases the delay period when the next clock edge is an active edge and maintains or increases the delay period when the next clock edge is a non-active edge.

Abstract: A duty cycle correction circuit, and method of operating the same, to correct the duty cycle of an input clock signal having a frequency divided-down from a reference clock by an odd-valued integer. A delay stage outputs the input clock signal delayed by one half-cycle of the reference clock, and a logic circuit outputs an extended clock signal by a logical OR of the input and delayed clock signals. A latch latches the extended clock signal when enabled by the reference clock, and a flip-flop latches the extended clock signal responsive to the reference clock. A gate selects the latch output or the flip-flop output based on the state of the delayed clock signal as an intermediate signal. A multiplexer generates the output clock by selecting between the intermediate signal and the input clock signal in alternating reference clock phases.

Abstract: A plurality of flip-flops of an integrated circuit (IC) (e.g., an ASIC) are electrically connected in a predefined series. The scan input gate of any give flip-flop in the predefined series is electrically connected to one of a Q output gate or a Q-bar output gate of an adjacent flip-flop in the predefined series. A reset operation for the IC occurs by feeding a bit string of identical bits (e.g., all zeros) through the scan input gate of a first flip-flop of the plurality of flip-flops to reset the plurality of flip-flops without the need for resetting circuitry and accompanying power savings for the IC.
