    摘要: A flip-flop circuit includes first and second storage circuits. The flip-flop circuit is configurable to store first values of a data signal in the first storage circuit in response to rising edges of a clock signal and to store second values of the data signal in the second storage circuit in response to falling edges of the clock signal during a double edge triggered mode. The flip-flop circuit is configurable to store third values of the data signal in the first storage circuit and to output the third values from the first storage circuit in response to the clock signal during a single edge triggered mode.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Some embodiments include apparatus and methods using an input stage and an output stage of a circuit. The input stage operates to receive an input signal and a clock signal and to provide an internal signal at an internal node based at least in part on the input signal. The input signal has levels in a first voltage range. The internal signal has levels in a second voltage range greater than the first voltage range. The output stage operates to receive the internal signal, the clock signal, and an additional signal generated based on the input signal. The output stage provides an output signal based at least in part on the input signal and the additional signal. The output signal has a third voltage range greater than the first voltage range.
