Hi all
I m designing a transmission gate based D flip flop with set and reset
link for design is given below
www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/74LVC2G74.pdf


the key issue is im not able to reduce power below nanowatt range.
any help to make this design in picowatt range will be welcomed
thank you
 

You should reveal more info, I think:

  • leakage or switching power?
  • which process?
  • which supply voltage?
  • which load?

Hi

I am designing my D flip flop for SAR control logic circuit in 180nm Technology in 1volt power supply. I am attaching the link for the SAR LOGIC Below (PAGE NO.:5 figure 1)
ipnpr.jpl.nasa.gov/progress_report2/XIII/XIIIW.PDF.

I believe the load is less than 100femto.
my design for D flip flop is given above.
right now i m designing the circuit for current starving mode.

when i am calculating the average power their are spikes during switching which is causing rise in power.Spikes are in ampere range

Kindly help me reduce the power of the involved D Flip flop. Any weblink or papers/thesis are welcome.

I guess this won't help a lot against the switching spikes.

Try to use MOSFETs with larger Vth values - if your process offer such. Otherwise reduce the power supply voltage - at least for the FFs.
