Technical field
" high-speed low clock signal oscillation amplitude driving conditional precharging CMOS trigger " direct applied technical field is the low-power consumption flip-flop circuit design of adopting low-clock signal excursion to drive.The circuit that proposes is the Low-Power CMOS flip-flop circuit unit that a class is applicable to low amplitude of oscillation clock signal networks technology.
Background technology
Along with the progress of CMOS integrated circuit fabrication process, the scale and the complexity of integrated circuit increase day by day, and power consumption of integrated circuit and heat dissipation problem more and more obtain the attention from industrial quarters and academia.Based on present integrated circuit (IC) design style, in the large scale digital Circuits System, the ratio that the energy of clock network consumption accounts for the total power consumption of entire circuit remains high always; Wherein, under the circuit working state, (trigger: energy Flip-Flop) becomes the important source of clock network energy consumption again in clock interconnection gauze and sequence circuit unit in consumption, and the power consumption ratio of the two has ever-increasing trend (to see document David E.Duarte, N.Vijaykrishnan, and Mary Jane Irwin, " A Clock Power Model to Evaluate Impact of Architecturaland Technology Optimizations ", IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems, vol.10, no.6, pp.844-855, December 2002.).
CMOS power consumption of integrated circuit source mainly contains dynamic power consumption, quiescent dissipation, short circuit current power consumption and leakage current power consumption.Wherein dynamic power consumption accounts for major part.Under certain circuit performance constraint, the dynamic power consumption P of CMOS integrated circuit node DynamicIt is this node load capacitor C L, supply voltage V DDVoltage swing V with this node SwingFunction, that is:
P Dynamic=C LV DDV Swingfα?????????????????????(1)
Wherein, f is the operating frequency of circuit, and α is the signal activity.From formula (1), as seen, reduce α, C L, V DDAnd V SwingAll can reduce the dynamic power consumption of circuit.Be different from the data-signal gauze, the clock cable netting gear has the characteristics of big interconnection line parasitic capacitance and high signal activity, by reducing the voltage signal amplitude of oscillation V of clock signal gauze SwingCan be at the energy that guarantees to reduce under the condition of circuit performance to consume on the clock interconnection line.The flip-flop circuit unit is widely used in integrated circuit (IC) design.Be the flip-flop circuit cell schematics as shown in Figure 1.Be illustrated in figure 2 as the traditional flip-flop circuit unit basic circuit structure that is widely used in the design of digital circuit standard cell lib, here with complementary output in the Grace 0.15 μ m technology digital standard cell library, the flip-flop circuit unit F FDHD1X that rising edge triggers is example explanation (seeing document Manual of " VeriSilicon GSMC 0.15 μ m High-DensityStandard Cell Library Databook ").The main feature of sort circuit structure is that circuit structure is fairly simple, but is not suitable for the design of low-clock signal excursion clock network system, because clock signal upset each time all can cause the upset of circuit internal node, circuit power consumption is bigger simultaneously.H.Kawaguchi propose a kind of flip-flop circuit RCSFF that can adopt low-voltage amplitude of oscillation clock signal to drive (see document H.Kawaguchi and T.Sakurai: " A Reduced Clock-Swing Flip-Flop (RCSFF) for 63%Power Reduction " ', IEEE JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS, VOL.33, NO.5, MAY1998, PP.807-811.), but the problem of sort circuit is when clock signal low level each time, extra energy consumption can be caused to the precharge of circuit internal node in the capital.On the basis of RCSFF circuit, the flip-flop circuit SAFF_CP that Y.Zhang proposes a kind of low-voltage amplitude of oscillation clock signal driving of condition presetting construction (sees document Y.Zhang, H.Yang, and H.Wang, " Low clock-swing conditional-precharge flip-flop for more than 30%power reduction; " Electron.Lett., vol.36, no.9, pp.785-786, Apr.2000.), as shown in Figure 3.The maximum characteristics of this flip-flop circuit are can be operated under the low-voltage oscillation amplitude driving conditional except keeping; Simultaneously, if the flip-flop circuit input remains unchanged when the clock signal low level, circuit can be to its internal node precharge between the clock signal low period.The employing of this technology greatly reduces the power consumption of flip-flop circuit itself.But, the problem that the SAFF_CP circuit exists is, because the output latch circuit has adopted cross-couplings NAND2 (NAND2: two input NAND gate) structure, can cause time-delay of flip-flop circuit output rising edge and trailing edge time-delay extremely asymmetric, bring potential problem for the use of circuit unit.Be illustrated in figure 4 as cross-couplings NAND2 latch circuit.With V OutaOutput is an example, works as V InaBe low level ' 0 ', simultaneously V InbDuring for high level ' 1 ', signal is through NAND gate NAND2_a, makes V OutaThe upset of generation rising edge; Work as V InaBe high level ' 1 ', simultaneously V InbDuring for low level ' 0 ', V OutaUpset can be do not produced at once, but V will be waited until OutbAt first be turned to high level ' 1 ', afterwards just can be at V OutaThe upset of generation trailing edge.This shows, for the SAFF_CP circuit that adopts cross-couplings NAND2 latch circuit as output, output end signal produces the trailing edge upset and always has more the time-delay of a door than producing the rising edge upset, has therefore caused the circuit rising edge to delay time and the trailing edge asymmetric problem of delaying time.Simultaneously, because behind the SAFF_CP circuit employing condition presetting construction, NMOS pipe MN2 in the circuit, MN3 and MN4 become redundant transistor, have not only increased circuit power consumption, have also increased circuit internal node electric capacity simultaneously, have limited the operating rate of circuit.

Embodiment
The technical scheme that the present invention solves its technical problem is: the high-speed low clock signal oscillation amplitude driving conditional precharging trigger SAFF_CP_SFL that the present invention proposes, as shown in Figure 5.The SAFF_CP_SFL trigger has the characteristics that can adopt low amplitude of oscillation clock signal driving and employing condition presetting technology to reduce the power consumption of flip-flop circuit own simultaneously, and, can guarantee the complementary output end Q and the Q of SAFF_CP_SFL trigger because the complementary output end of first order latch is connected respectively to two independently and have on the single clock phase latch of same circuits parameter bCan realize the rising edge time-delay and the trailing edge time-delay of symmetry.With respect to the SAFF_CP flip-flop circuit, SAFF_CP_SFL flip-flop circuit structure is simpler, has reduced by an extra high-voltage power supply line V Well(to PMOS pipe MP1, MP2 provides substrate biasing, V Well>V DD), help using and designing of circuit more; Simultaneously, owing to adopt the condition presetting control structure, can remove NMOS pipe MN2 redundant in the original SAFF_CP circuit, MN3 and MN4 have reduced circuit internal node electric capacity, thereby have reduced power consumption, have improved the operating rate of circuit.
The SAFF_CP_SFL trigger adopts low amplitude of oscillation clock signal to drive, and can effectively reduce the online power consumption of clock line that interconnects.Simultaneously, the condition presetting control circuit that the flip-flop circuit employing is controlled by input data signal D is finished the condition presetting process to the circuit internal node, has reduced the power consumption of trigger itself.Be different from the RCSFF trigger (see document H.Kawaguchi and T.Sakurai: " A Reduced Clock-Swing Flip-Flop (RCSFF) for 63%Power Reduction " ', IEEEJOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS, VOL.33, NO.5, MAY 1998, PP.807-811.), clock signal clk and input data signal D composition or logic also are connected to the grid that PMOS manages MP1, simultaneously clock signal clk and input data signal D bComposition or logic also are connected to the grid that PMOS manages MP2.With respect to the SAFF_CP flip-flop circuit, two or logical circuit are not only finished the control action to the condition presetting electricity, simultaneously also as the input control circuit of data-signal D.When CLK is a high level, MP1 and MP2 end, and NMOS pipe MN1 conducting if this moment, input data signal D was a high level, because the driving force of node Y is higher than nodes X, makes the nodes X discharge, and it is constant that positive feedback makes node Y keep high level.This moment, second level latch was driven by nodes X and Y, and because CLK is a high level, NMOS pipe MN2 and MN3 conducting make that trigger complementary output end Q is a high level, Q bBe low level.When CLK is the low level while, if input signal D still keeps high level, the MP1 remain off can not carry out precharge to nodes X; At this moment, for second level latch, because CLK is a low level, MN2 and MN3 end, and the complementary output signal of trigger also can be maintained.When CLK is the low level while, if input signal D is turned to low level, the MP1 conducting is to the precharge of X node; And when next rising edge clock arrived, because the driving force of nodes X is higher than node Y, node Y discharge, positive feedback made nodes X keep high level and drive second level latch, make that trigger complementary output end Q is a low level, Q bBe high level.The output node X of first order latch and Y are connected respectively to two independently and have on the single clock phase latch of same circuits parameter, this method of attachment not only can guarantee when CLK is low level, and the complementary output end of trigger is can the inhibit signal level constant; Simultaneously, can guarantee the complementary output end Q and the Q of SAFF_CP_SFL trigger bCan realize the rising edge time-delay and the trailing edge time-delay of symmetry.Also have the metastable state effect for flip-flop circuit, when input data signal D when saltus step takes place very nearby in the distance rising edge clock signal, can cause from clock signal clk to output Q or Q bTime-delay increase greatly, settling time and the time-delay sum of increase of definition flip-flop circuit are the metastable state time, the time-delay sum of circuit is total time-delay of circuit under metastable state time and the general situation.Simulation result by circuit can be found, the trigger SAFF_CP_SFL that the present invention proposes, can remove (as shown in Figure 3) redundant NMOS pipe MN2 in the original SAFF_CP circuit, MN3 and MN4, reduced circuit internal node electric capacity, thereby reduced power consumption, improved the operating rate of circuit, more superior settling time and metastable state time performance have been arranged.
Essential features of the present invention is: at first, circuit can adopt low amplitude of oscillation clock signal to drive, and has effectively reduced in the clock network system to consume in the online power consumption of clock interconnection line.The condition presetting control circuit that the flip-flop circuit employing is controlled by input data signal D is finished the condition presetting process to the circuit internal node, has reduced the power consumption of trigger itself.The condition presetting process of first order latch cooperates second level latch, guarantees that circuit is a low level and during not to X or the precharge of Y node at CLK, and the complementary output end of trigger is can the inhibit signal level constant.The output node X of first order latch and Y are connected respectively to two independently and have on the single clock phase latch of same circuits parameter, and this method of attachment can guarantee the complementary output end Q and the Q of SAFF_CP_SFL trigger bCan realize the rising edge time-delay and the trailing edge time-delay of symmetry, and have more superior settling time and metastable state time performance.With respect to the SAFF_CP flip-flop circuit, SAFF_CP_SFL flip-flop circuit structure is simpler, has reduced by an extra high-voltage power supply line V Well(to PMOS pipe MP1, MP2 provides substrate biasing, V Well>V DD), help using and designing of circuit more; Simultaneously, owing to adopt the condition presetting control structure, can remove NMOS pipe MN2 redundant in the original SAFF_CP circuit, MN3 and MN4 have reduced circuit internal node electric capacity, thereby have reduced power consumption, have improved the operating rate of circuit.
