    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a pulse generator which provides first and second clock pulses to one or more pulsed latches, where the pulse generator replicates a delay of the pulsed latches in providing the first and second clock pulses. The pulse generator can include a replica of latch components in the pulsed latches such as a tri-state inverter, a transmission gate and inverters, where an output of the tri-state inverter is coupled to the transmission gate and to an input of the inverter, and an output of the inverter is coupled to an input of the tri-state inverter. The tri-state inverter can be a modified tri-state inverter with an output forced to “1” when a clock signal is “0.” In one approach, the latch components of the pulse generator are to write a logic 1 when a clock signal goes high.

    Abstract: A fast Mux-D scan flip-flop is provided, which bypasses a scan multiplexer to a master keeper side path, removing delay overhead of a traditional Mux-D scan topology. The design is compatible with simple scan methodology of Mux-D scan, while preserving smaller area and small number of inputs/outputs. Since scan Mux is not in the forward critical path, circuit topology has similar high performance as level-sensitive scan flip-flop and can be easily converted into bare pass-gate version. The new fast Mux-D scan flip-flop combines the advantages of the conventional LSSD and Mux-D scan flip-flop, without the disadvantages of each.

    Abstract: Embodiments include a pattern matching circuit that implements a Bloom filter including one or more hash functions. The hash functions may generate respective addresses corresponding to bits of a memory array. Various techniques for improving the area and/or power efficiency of the pattern matching circuit are disclosed. For example, a number of logic 1 bits per column of hash matrixes associated with the one or more hash functions may be restricted to a pre-defined number. A plurality of addresses generated by the hash functions may use the same column address to correspond to bits of a same column. A single read port memory may be used to simultaneously read two bits and generate an output signal that indicates whether the two bits are both a first logic value. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for an integrated clock gate (ICG) to selectively output a clock signal, and to provide frequency division functionality. In an embodiment, an ICG circuit comprises first circuitry which is coupled to receive a first clock signal, and second circuitry which is coupled to receive a control signal. The first circuitry provides a single edge triggered flip-flop functionality, and is coupled to communicate a feedback signal which the first circuitry is further coupled to receive. Based on the control signal and the feedback signal, the second circuitry performs an exclusive OR (XOR) operation to selectively enable the first circuitry to generate a second clock signal based on the first clock signal. In another embodiment, a frequency of the second clock signal is substantially equal to one half of a frequency of the first clock signal.
