摘要: The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device which includes a multiplexer, a master latch, and a slave latch. The multiplexer outputs an inverse of an input data signal or an inverse scan input signal according to a scan enable signal. The master latch is coupled to an output terminal of the multiplexer, and is configured to latch the inverse of the input data signal based on an input clock signal in response to the scan enable signal being in a low-logic state. The slave latch is coupled to the output terminal of the multiplexer through a first clocked CMOS inverter, and is configured to receive the input data signal and to output a latched slave latch data based on the input clock signal. A leakage-free dummy cell is disposed in a non-critical path of the master latch and the slave latch.

摘要: A circuit includes a multi-bit flip flop, an integrated clock gating circuit connected to the multi-bit flip flop, and a control circuit connected to the integrated clock gating circuit and the multi-bit flip flop. The control circuit compares output data of the multi-bit flip flop corresponding to input data with the input data. The control circuit generates an enable signal based on comparing the output data of the multi-bit flip flop corresponding to the input data with the input data of the multi-bit flip flop. The control circuit provides the enable signal to the integrated clock gating circuit, wherein the integrated clock gating circuit provides, based on the enable signal, a clock signal to the multi-bit flip flop causing the multi-bit flip flop to toggle.

摘要: A circuit includes first and second power nodes having differing first and second voltage levels, and a reference node having a reference voltage level. A master latch outputs a first data bit based on a received data bit; a slave latch includes a first inverter that outputs a second data bit based on the first data bit and a second inverter that outputs an output data bit based on a selected one of the first data bit or a third data bit; a level shifter outputs the third data bit based on a fourth data bit; and a retention latch outputs the fourth data bit based on the second data bit. The first and second inverters and the level shifter are coupled between the first power node and the reference node, and the retention latch includes a plurality of transistors coupled between the second power node and the reference node.
