In this paper; a new robust non-overlapping twophase clock generator with adjustable duty cycle is proposed. The generator is based on a differential negative edge trigged D flip-flop and has small area and power consumption. The maximal clock rate and delay are also improved reaching a clock frequency of 1.0 GHz in a standard 0.35 µm CMOS process. The new clock generator is inherently glitch and spike free and robust against slow clock transitions; that reduces the design effort significantly.
