A WHOPPING 77 PER CENT less power is needed for Toshiba's 40nm scale CMOS flip-flop circuit compared to earlier flip-flops, the Japanese company claims.

Yep! !Q output tied to the D input with CLK = some question repeated over and over again ... a peek inside John Kerry’s brain!

Al Gore invented the internet and John Kerry invented the flip-flop circuit.

I don’t care what Toshiba makes or invent. I ain’t buying one. I won’t buy anything with the Toshiba brand on it. Those bastords sold us out during the cold war, and it won’t be forgotten.

I know about Hitachi selling the numeric controlled milling machines to the Soviets so they could make their submarine propellers quieter, but I never heard anything about Tochiba. What did they do?

I place what Toshiba did to the USN on the same level as the Walker spy family.

Actually - I believe this was Toshiba - thus the cold-war sell-out claim.

I sure could use a batch of these RIGHT NOW! I’m trying to reduce the power in a circuit I’m building - and the BIG problem is the switching current from the clocks as they’re exercising... just as the article claims.

Another commenter mentioned “cool” - No - actually, “coolER” ;-) Less power = Not as hot.
