A novel approach to double-edge-triggered (DET) flip-flop design is presented along with a new static flip-flop and a new dynamic flipflop. The approach builds CMOS circuits using pass transistors and MOSstyle clocked inverters and addresses issues of threshold voltage drop ( drop) and circuit complexity. Among DET designs, the number of switched and total transistors used by our flip-flops is less than or equal to any in related work. Our circuits beat all others in speed (maximum frequency
