Abstract

In this project, True Single Phase Clock Logic (TSPCL) Flip-flop with Self-controllable Voltage Level (SVL) technique is proposed to design a 4 bit counter. To minimize the consumption of power, chip area and to enhance the battery life and performance of the system, the low power VLSI circuit is designed. 

The major problem in scaling circuit is the power consumption due to the power dissipation in the clock, during standby mode. One-third of the total power is consumed by the clock signal in a counter. All the designs are implemented using 250nm technology in Cadence Virtuoso. The proposed TSPCL with SVL consumes less power compared to conventional TSPCL Flipflop.

Keywords: Flip-flop, Low power, SVL, TSPCL.
