  • Abstract
    An improved design of a sense-amplifier-based flip-flop is presented. The new design overcomes the problems of floating nodes, which is a weakness of previously reported solutions. This is achieved by systematic derivation of flip-flop equations and rearranging the resulting network. The resulting flip-flop outperforms earlier published structures, exhibiting TCQof 190ps when driving 100fF load in a 0.18µm CMOS technology.
