Abstract

In this paper, a new dynamic D-flip-flop which does not suffer from charge sharing and glitch problems is proposed. And a dual-modulus divide-by-128/129 prescaler has been designed with the proposed D-flip-flops using a 0.6$0.6{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Eleven-transistor architecture enables it to operate at the higher frequency range and the transistor merging technique contributes to the reduction of power consumption. At 5V supply voltage, the simulated maximum operating frequency and the current consumption of the divide-by-128/129 prescaler are 1.97GHz and 7.453mA, respectively.

본 논문에서는 전하 공유와 글리치 문제를 최소화한 새로운 동적 D-플립플롭을 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 128/129 분주 프리스케일러(prescaler)를 설계한다. 전하 공유 문제와 글리치 문제를 최소화함으로써 회로 동작의 신뢰도를 향상시켰으며 스위칭 트랜지스터의 공유로 전류 path를 줄여 저전력 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 제안된 동적 D-플립플롭은 안정된 edge-trigger 동작을 보장하도록 설계되었다. 제안된 플립플롭의 성능 평가를 위해 $0.6{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 128/129 분주 프리스케일러를 구성하였다. 5V 공급전압에서 최대 1.97GHz의 주파수까지 동작함을 확인하였으며 이때의 전류 소모는 7.453mA였다.
