Abstract

This paper presents quaternary D flip-flop with advanced performance. Quaternary D flip-flop is composed of the components such as thermometer code output circuit, EX-OR gate, bias inverter, transmission gate and binary D flip-flop circuit. The designed circuit is simulated by HSPICE in $0.35{\mu}m$ one-poly six-metal CMOS process parameters with a single +3.3V supply voltage. In the simulations, sampling frequencies is measured around 100MHz. The PDP parameters and FOM we estimated to be 59.3fJ, 33.7 respectively.

본 논문에서는 개선된 성능을 갖는 4치 D-플립플롭을 제안하였다. 제안된 4치 D 플립플롭은 뉴런모스를 기반으로 바이어스 인버터, 온도계 코드 출력회로, EX-OR 게이트, 전달 게이트를 이용하여 4치 항등 논리회로(Identity logic circuit)를 구성하고, 이를 2진의 RS 래치 회로와 결합하여 설계하였다. 설계된 회로들은 3.3V 단일 공급 전원에서 $0.35{\mu}m$ 1-poly 6-metal COMS 공정 파라미터 표준조건에서 HSPICE를 사용하여 모의실험 하였다. 모의실험 결과, 본 논문에서 제안된 4치 D 플립플롭은 100MHz 전후까지의 빠른 동작속도로 측정되었으며 PDP(Power dissipation-delay time product)와 FOM(Figure of merit)은 각각 59.3pJ과 33.7로 평가되어졌다.
