dc.description.abstract	Transistor technology has been going through a rapid scaling for more than three decades. Transistor scaling is essential for the needs of low power and high performance digital circuit. Many research and papers has been conducted and published on transistor technology. The latest in line for transistor scaling was 22nm tri-gate transistor technology and it is still unfamiliar to the researchers, especially in the analysis of the circuit that implements the technology. Therefore, this research will reveal the behavior and characteristics of flip-flop and latch in 22nm tri-gate transistor technology as both devices are an important elements in designing a digital circuit. To achieve that, a flow of implementation has been designed and analysis has been done using SYNOPSYS® PrimeTime. This design flow spans from design idea, Register Transfer Level (RTL), synthesis, functional equivalent verification, place and route and various analysis before sign-off. Flip-flop based circuit and latch based circuit has been design as test cases and both circuits are operating frequency at 1 GHz. The experimental results obtained are analyzed and comparisons are made between latch and flip-flop based circuit on its power, area and performance characteristics. Comparative analysis shows that, latch based design consumed 45.39%, 15.95% and 38.51% less in net switching power, cell internal power and cell leakage power respectively compared to flip-flop based design. For overall power consumption, latch based design consumed xviii 21.88% less power compared to flip-flop based design. Meanwhile, latch based design required 44.70% less in die area and 28.74% improvement in timing properties compared to flip-flop based design.	en_US
