Neetu Kumari, Satyajit Anand, P. P. Bhattacharya . Comparative Study of different Flip Flop Cells for WSN Applications. International Journal of Computer Applications. 89, 11 ( March 2014), 13-16. DOI=10.5120/15675-4423
Efficient power management in wireless sensor network is a critical issue as the sensor nodes are low powered devices. In a sensor node, flip flop consumes large amount of power as they make maximum number of internal transitions. Reduction in the power consumed by flip-flops shows a deep impact on the total power consumed. Hence, designing low power flip flop cells are highly important for enhancing the life time of network. This paper presents a comparative study of different flip flop cells for WSN applications based on simulation at 90nm and 45nm technology. The simulation results show that flip flop using multiplexers offers the best overall performance.
