Abstract
A clock-skew-based methodology for deciding races that are ordinarily settled by making feedback paths weak or resistive is proposed. Applying this to earlier work, a new static, double-edge-triggered flip-flop is derived that shows significant gains in terms of reduced power, increased frequency, and reduced gate area
