Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device ( 300, 1000 ) provides a dual-edge triggered flip-flop (DETFF) that is reconfigurable to a master-slave flip-flop (MSFF). The device includes a reconfigurable MUX-D flip-flop including two distinct circuit configurations. In a first configuration, two latches or storage elements ( 340, 360, 1040, 1060 ) are operating in series to provide a MUX-D flip-flop. In a second configuration, the storage elements ( 340, 360, 1040, 1060 ) are operating in parallel to provide a dual-edge triggered flip-flop (DETFF).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A reconfigurable flip-flop circuit, comprising: an input; a common output; a first storage element including an input electrically coupled to the input through at least a first storage element input switch, and an output electrically coupled to a first storage element output switch; a second storage element including an input electrically coupled to the input through at least a second storage element input switch, and an output electrically coupled to…
