  • Abstract
    This paper presents analysis and measurement of a leakage current compensation technique aimed to preserve traditional operation of dynamic flip-flops in nano-scale CMOS. Over 7.4X larger leakage tolerance was observed for a dynamic transmission-gate flip-flop utilizing the proposed technique. Furthermore, a conditional static keeper ensures robust operation at low-frequency/standby..
