 New Low Glitch and Low Power DET Flip-Flops Using Multiple C-Elements

This paper presents novel designs of static dual-edgetriggered (DET) flip-flops that exhibit unique circuit behavior owing to the use of C-elements. Five novel DET flip-flops are presented including two high-performance designs and designs that improve upon common Latch-MUX DET flip-flops so that none of their internal circuit nodes follow changes in the input signal. A common characteristic of the presented flip-flops is their low energy dissipation due to glitches at the input.
