A 0.9V 10GHz 71μW Static D Flip-flop by using FinFET Devices

摘要

As the feature size of the CMOS technology continues to scale down, new technology such as FinFET has been experimented and proposed as a promising alternative technology because of its better scaling capacity. In this paper, by using 32 nm FinFET devices, we propose new a static D flip-flop whose clock frequency can be as high as 10 GHz, while the power consumption is only 71 μW. Further experimental results show that the new D flip-flop can work even when the clock frequency is as high as 15 GHz.
