Summary:A novel approach to double-edge-triggered (DET) flip-flop design
is presented along with a new static flip-flop and a new dynamic
flipflop. The approach builds CMOS circuits using pass transistors and
MOS-style clocked inverters and addresses issues of threshold voltage
drop (VT drop) and circuit complexity. Among DET designs, the
number of switched and total transistors used by our flip-flops is less
than or equal to any in related work. Our circuits beat all others in
speed (maximum frequency response) by significant margins at medium to
high supply voltages. The speed outperformance range for our static
flip-flop is 1.5 to 5 V and for our dynamic flip-flop is <2.5 to 5 V
