20120182055 | FLOP TYPE SELECTION FOR VERY LARGE SCALE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS - A method for determining flop circuit types includes performing a layout of an IC design including arranging master and slave latches of each of a plurality of flops to receive first and second clock signals, respectively. The initial IC design may then be implemented (e.g., on a silicon substrate). After implementation, the IC may be operated in first and second modes. In the first mode, the master latch of each flop is coupled to receive a first clock signal. In the second mode, the first clock signal is inhibited and the master latch is held transparent. The slave latch of each flop operates according to a second clock signal in both the first and second modes. The method further includes determining, for each flop, whether that flop is to operate as a master-slave flip-flop or as a pulse flop in a subsequent revision of the IC. | 07-19-2012 |
