Abstract

This paper presents a low-power and high-speed pulsed flip-flop based on dual-precharging and conditional discharging. The dual-precharging operation minimizes the parasitic capacitance of each precharge node, resulting in high-speed operation. The conditional-discharging operation minimizes the redundant transitions of precharge nodes, resulting in low-power operation. Linear feedback shift register (LFSR) designed in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology using the proposed flip-flop achieves 32% power reduction as compared to conventional design.
