18.2.1 Naming Conventions for Flip-Flops
The names for the flip-flop cells are composed of the following four parts:
- A base name identifying the cell as a D-type flip-flop (DFF)
- An optional 1-character code describing the clock pin. L indicates negative edge trig-gered. No code indicates positive edge triggered
- Asynchronous input type and polarity; an optional
1-character code designating the control pins as follows:
-
B = Active high, both set and clear
-
C = Active high clear
-
S = Active high set
When omitted, the cell has neither SET nor CLEAR input.
-
- An optional 1-character code describing the output. I indicates output is inverted. No code indicates output is not inverted.
- DFFC
- The cell is a positive edge triggered D-type flip-flop with active high CLEAR.
- DFFLB
- The cell is a negative edge triggered D-type flip-flop with active high SET and CLEAR.
