When it comes to illogical logic circuits I have to say I was always scratching my head when it came to Edge Triggered D-Type Flip-Flops. These are one of the most common logic blocks in today’s ...

In this paper, the authors deal with the testable design of conservative logic based sequential circuits by using two test vectors. The conservative logic based sequential circuits are built from the ...

The circuit was constructed to produce a frequency divider with the use of flip flops which are the basic building blocks of sequential logic circuits while forming a T flip-flop configuration. Toggle ...

Scannability has always been a challenge and with complex architectures, the challenge is exacerbated by imposing several limitations like HOLD closure, yield loss, silicon failures due to HOLD, scan ...

Freescale Semiconductor India Pvt. Ltd. Scannability has always been a challenge and with the complex architectures, challenges gets multifold by imposing several limitations like HOLD closure, yield ...

We are somewhat spoiled because electronics today are very reliable compared to even a few decades ago. Most modern electronics obey the bathtub curve. If they don’t fail right away, they won’t fail ...

A couple years back we covered a very impressive transistor logic clock which was laid out so an observer could watch all of the counters doing their thing, complete with gratuitous blinkenlights. It ...

element14 has published an a eBook on how flip-flops work and their potential applications. The eBook provides a brief overview of the concept and offers insights into the functionality and different ...

A new technical paper titled “Flip-Lock: A Flip-Flop-Based Logic Locking Technique for Thwarting ML-based and Algorithmic Structural Attacks” was published by researchers at TU Dresden and Ruhr ...
