    Abstract: A circuit system includes an accelerator circuit and a compute circuit. The accelerator circuit generates a request in response to receiving packets of data. The accelerator circuit generates an indication of a low power state based on a reduced number of the packets of data being received. The compute circuit performs a processing operation for the accelerator circuit using the packets of data in response to receiving the request. The compute circuit comprises a power management circuit that decreases a supply voltage in the compute circuit and decreases a frequency of a clock signal in the compute circuit in response to the indication of the low power state from the accelerator circuit.

    Abstract: A fast Mux-D scan flip-flop is provided, which bypasses a scan multiplexer to a master keeper side path, removing delay overhead of a traditional Mux-D scan topology. The design is compatible with simple scan methodology of Mux-D scan, while preserving smaller area and small number of inputs/outputs. Since scan Mux is not in the forward critical path, circuit topology has similar high performance as level-sensitive scan flip-flop and can be easily converted into bare pass-gate version. The new fast Mux-D scan flip-flop combines the advantages of the conventional LSSD and Mux-D scan flip-flop, without the disadvantages of each.
