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: 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.

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.
