Abstract(in English) Under the influence of the miniaturization of the integrated circuit, the variation of the operation condition of the circuit becomes bigger, and margins of the supply voltage and the clock frequency necessary for a design increase. For the mitigation of the margin, the structure of the circuit with the timing error tolerance is studied flourishingly. In this paper, we propose two new Time Borrowing Flip-Flops (TBFF) in transistor level to realize timing error tolerance by switching from flip-flop to latch dynamically. HSPICE simulation results show that the proposed TBFF can achieve up to 28.1% power reduction when compared with existing works.
