" 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

Wherein, f is the operating frequency of circuit, and α is the signal activity.From formula (1), as seen, reduce α, C
