Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2420022A1] A timing insensitive glitch-free (TIGF) logic device which can take the form of any latch or edge triggered flip-flop. In one embodiment, a trigger signa l is provided to update the TIGF logic device. The trigger signal is provided during a short trigger period that occurs at adjacent times from the evaluation period (figure 59). In latch form, the TIGF latch includes a flip - flop that holds the current state of the TIGF latch until a trigger signal i s received (figure 59). A multiplexer is also provided to receive the new inpu t value and the old stored value. The enable signal functions as the selector signal for the multiplexer. In flip-flop form, the TIGF flip-flop includes a first flip-flop that holds the new input value, a second flip-flop that hold s the current stored value, and a clock edge detector. Hold time violations ar e avoided because one dedicated flip-flop stores the new input value which effectively blocks input changes during evaluation.
