Abstract :
A novel D-type flip-flop designed using negative differential resistance (NDR) circuit based on standard 0.35 mum CMOS process is demonstrated. First we propose a new NDR circuit that is made of metal-oxide- semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOS), but it can show the NDR characteristic in its current-voltage curve by suitably designing the MOS widths/lengths parameters. The flip-flop circuit is composed by two monostable and one monostable-bistable transition logic elements (MOBILE). The performance of these circuits is evaluated by using HSPICE.
