Abstract: In an example, a scan flip-flop includes a first transistor and a second transistor coupled to a data input. The scan flip-flop includes a third transistor coupled to a clock input and a fourth transistor coupled to an inverse clock input. The scan flip-flop includes a fifth transistor coupled to a scan enable input and the first transistor, and includes a sixth transistor coupled to an inverse scan enable input and the second transistor. The scan flip-flop includes an input multiplexer that includes a seventh transistor and eighth transistor coupled to the scan data input, a ninth transistor coupled to the scan enable input, and a tenth transistor coupled to the inverse scan enable input. The input multiplexer includes a first diode-connected transistor coupled between a first voltage rail and the seventh transistor, and includes a second diode-connected transistor coupled between a second voltage rail and the eighth transistor.

Abstract: Example flip-flops comprise a circuit that receives a primary clock signal, generates a clock buffer signal having a series of pulses, each delayed by a set amount of time relative to a corresponding pulse of the primary clock signal, generates an intermediate clock signal based on the primary clock signal and the clock buffer signal, generates inflated low pulse width clock signals, each having a low pulse width that is greater than a low pulse width of the primary clock signal. Latch stages within example flip-flops include one or more components that are controlled by the inflated low pulse width clock signals. Example flip-flops include high-speed flip-flops and standard flip-flops. Larger circuits, such as a clock divider circuits, may incorporate multiple example high-speed flip-flops to improve performance.
