13 3.2. Standard transmission gate CMOS Flip-flopFigure 3.4: Standard transmission gate CMOS flip-flopSince Standard transmission gate flip-flop uses transmission gate and transmission gatesare not good to operate in sub-threshold regime, we can not use these flip-flops forthe same operating voltage range. There is a risk <strong>of</strong> data write-back in these flip-flopsoperating in sub-threshold voltage as shown in figure 3.5.Figure 3.5: Data Write-Back in Standard Transmission Gate Flip-flop.In Figure 3.5, flip-flop is being operated in state S1, i.e. node A is at voltage level 1 andthis state is being hold by feedback loop in slave latch. Similarly node B is at voltagelevel 0 in state S1. But node B can be corrupted by the leakage <strong>of</strong> transmission gate andmay cross the V IH (Minimum Input High voltage) <strong>of</strong> feedback inverter in master latch.This will invert the master latch state and in the next positive clock edge wrong datamay be transmitted. This is called as "Data Write-Back".
