A novel low‐power sense‐amplifier‐based flip‐flop (FF) is presented. Using a simplified single‐ended pass transistor‐based latch design, the loading of the sense amplifier is greatly alleviated, which facilitates a size reduced sense‐amplifier design as well. These factors improve the power consumption and the delay of the FF design substantially and the performance claims are verified through extensive post‐layout simulations.
