    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments comprise a multi-stage circuit (10) operating across different power domains (A, B). The multi-stage circuit may be implemented as a master-slave flip-flop circuit (10c) integrated with a level shifter (65c) that transfers data across different power domains. The master and slave stages of the flip-flop may be split across two tiers (102, 104) of a 3D IC and may include (i) a level shifter across different power domain integrated within the flip-flop circuit, (ii) reduced one-state writing delays by a self-induced power collapsing technique, (iii) splitting flip-flop power supplies in different tiers using monolithic 3D IC technology, and (iv) cross power domain data transfer between 3D IC tiers.

    Abstract translation: 所公开的实施例包括跨越不同功率域(A,B)工作的多级电路(10)。 多级电路可以实现为与在不同电源域上传送数据的电平移位器(65c)集成的主从触发器电路(10c)。 触发器的主从级可分为3D IC的两层(102,104),并且可以包括(i)跨触发器电路中集成的不同功率域的电平移位器,(ii)减少 (iii)使用单片3D IC技术分割不同层级的触发器电源,以及(iv)3D IC层之间的跨功率域数据传输。
