Description

D flip-flop circuit with strong latch structure
Technical Field

As an important application field of emerging information industry, trillion-level markets of the Internet of things are gradually formed, and devices and nodes in a trillion level can realize the interconnection and intelligent association of everything through the technology of the Internet of things. The nodes of the internet of things (such as wearable equipment, intelligent home nodes, wireless sensor nodes and environment monitoring nodes) need to continuously work for years or even more than ten years under the condition that the micro battery supplies power, so that harsh low-power consumption requirements are provided for the chip, and the D trigger is an important part in chip design, so that the realization of the D trigger with ultralow power consumption and quick response has very important significance for reducing the power consumption of the whole chip design.
The traditional D flip-flop topology is composed of an input inverter, two half-latches (a master latch and a slave latch), and an output inverter. Because of the strong competing current between the pull-up network and the pull-down network with complementary half latch structures, especially when VDDL is located in the sub-threshold region, there are papers and experiments to show that converting a signal from the sub-threshold voltage to a voltage higher than the threshold voltage requires amplifying the sizes of two NMOS transistors by several orders of magnitude to overcome the strength of the pull-up network, resulting in additional consumption of area, which is unrealistic and unacceptable; meanwhile, due to the half-latch, in the process of conversion, the PMOS and the NMOS are turned on simultaneously, which leads to increase of dynamic power consumption, and due to the two half-latches, the rate of the D flip-flop is also slowed down, which also causes additional consumption of area.

Based on the D trigger circuit structure, the circuit principle specifically is as follows:
the input of the first logic input inverter is connected at the gates of PM0 and NM0, and the output is connected at the drains of PM0 and NM0, so that the D signal input produces the D-not signal output. The input of the second logic input inverter is connected at the gates of PM1 and NM1, and the output is connected at the drains of PM1 and NM1, so that the CLK signal input produces the CLK non-signal output. The first transfer gate dfn is input to a junction between the drain of the PMOS transistor PM2 and the drain of the NMOS transistor NM2, the source of the PMOS transistor PM2 and the source of the NMOS transistor NM2 are connected as an output, the CLK dfn is input to the gate of the PMOS transistor PM2, the CLK signal is input to the gate of the NMOS transistor NM2, the dfn is controlled by the CLK signal to control the transfer of the dfn, the input of the third logic input inverter is pulled low if the dfn is low, and the input of the third logic input inverter is pulled high if the dfn is high.

The third logic input inverter is that the D-not signal input is connected between the gate of the PMOS transistor PM4 and the gate of the NMOS transistor NM4, the connection of the drain of the PMOS transistor PM4 and the drain of the NMOS transistor NM4 is connected to the strong latch circuit as an output port IN; the third logic input inverter is primarily intended to increase the drive.

The principle of the strong latch circuit is as follows:
when the input signal IN is low and INB is high, NM6 is off, PM7 is on, NM7 is on, pulling the voltage at Q low, PM9 is off, since pulling the voltage at Q low causes PM6 to turn on, pulling the voltage at Q off high, which causes PM8 to turn off;
when the input signal IN is high and INB is low, NM7 is IN off state, PM9 is IN on state, NM6 is IN on state, PM7 is IN off state, pulling the voltage at Q off low, thus causing PM8 to be IN on state, pulling the voltage at Q high;
when the input signal IN is high and INB is high, NM6 is on, PM7 is off, NM7 is on, and PM9 is off, pulling both Q and Q-bar low, which is a zero clearing state.
When the input signal IN is low and INB is low, NM6 is off, PM7 is on, NM7 is off, PM9 is on, if Q is high, Q is not low, PM8 is on, PM6 is off, Q is high, Q is not low, if Q is low, Q is high, PM8 is off, PM6 is on, Q is low, Q is high, and this is the hold state.

As shown in fig. 3, which is a simulation diagram of a D flip-flop and a comparison circuit of a prior art D flip-flop provided in an embodiment of the present invention when input signals D and CLK change simultaneously, Q and QB are outputs of the circuit of the embodiment of the present invention, RB and SB are outputs of the comparison circuit of the prior art, and it can be seen from fig. 3 that: the external input signals D, CLK are varied simultaneously, while Q and QB are seen to collect and hold the signal well, while RB and SB are not.
Fig. 4 is a simulation diagram of a comparison circuit of a D flip-flop and a prior art D flip-flop provided in an embodiment of the present invention when input signals D and CLK do not change simultaneously, where GND (2) is a current change situation of the circuit ground of the present invention in fig. 1, and GND (1) is a current change situation of the circuit ground of the prior art in fig. 2, and it can be seen from fig. 4 that: the external input signals D and CLK do not change simultaneously, Q and QB, RB and SB can well collect and store signals, GND (2) can well control the magnitude of current, and GND (1) cannot reduce the magnitude of current.
Table 1 below shows a comparison of power consumption data of a comparison circuit of a D flip-flop and a prior art D flip-flop provided in an embodiment of the present invention when the input signals D and CLK do not change simultaneously, where the test simulation is performed under the conditions that the VDD power supply is 1.2V, the temperature is 27 ℃, and the process corner is TT:
voltage (V) Temperature (C)0C) Art corner Average power consumption (W)
The invention 1.2 27 TT 228.498n
Comparison circuit 1.2 27 TT 181.534u
As can be seen from table 1 above: the average power consumption of the circuit of the invention is 228.498 nw; and the average power consumption of the comparison circuit in the prior art is 181.534uw, and the power consumption is nearly 794.5 times less.
It is noted that those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments of the present invention are not described in detail herein.
In summary, in the circuit according to the embodiment of the present invention, the CLK signal controls the transmission of the D signal input, and the signal is input to the strong latch, and each side of the latch cannot be turned from VDD to GND each time, because the other side of the latch needs to be changed to be fully turned on each time the latch is turned over, the power consumption is further reduced, and because the number of latches is reduced, the response speed of the D flip-flop is increased, and the power consumption of the whole chip design is reduced.
