Abstract

A high-speed and ultra-low-voltage divide-by-4/5 counter with dynamic floating input D flip-flop (DFIDFF) is presented in this paper. The proposed DFIDFF and control logic gates are merged to reduce effective capacitance of internal and external nodes, and increase the operating speed of divide-by-4/5 counter. The proposed divide-by-4/5 counter is fabricated in a 0.13-µm CMOS process. The measured maximum operating frequency and power consumption of the counter are 600MHz and 8.35µW at a 0.5V supply voltage. HSPICE simulations demonstrate that the proposed counter (divide-by-4) reduces power-delay product (PDP) by 37%, 71%, and 57% from those of the TGFF counter, Yang's counter [1], and the E-TSPC counter [2], respectively.
