13. DFF
This is a positive edge triggered, asynchronous active low reset, D flip-flop with Master
and Slave circuits. Both these circuits constitute transmission gate, tristate inverter, a
basic inverter and a 2-input NAND gate. Clock (CLK) and CLK_BAR (reset) signals
are produced from two inverters as shown in the schematic. Q and Q_BAR are the
outputs.

This is a 1-bit positive level-triggered, asynchronous active low reset latch circuit
with D input and Q output. It uses the circuit parts of slave D-flip-flop (cell 13). The
clock (CLK) signal of this circuit will be connected to the main CLK of the entire
system being designed. This cell was custom designed to be used in elastic half buffer
for our project.

15. REG1BIT
This is a positive level triggered 1-bit latch circuit with no reset signal as in
LATCH1BIT cell described earlier and is designed to as a data register in this project.
The circuit parts of this cell are analogous to those in the master D-flip-flop with the
only difference of rest signal. This cell behaves as a latch with enable signal
(represented here as CLK) and is connected to internal signals in the system according
to requirement and NOT the system CLK.
