Zero setup time flip flop

TLDR
In this paper, a storage element having a data input terminal, a clock input terminal and a data output terminal is described, which is able to capture a logic value of a data signal on the input terminal with substantially zero setup time at an active edge of a clock signal.
Abstract
Circuits and methods for a zero setup time storage element are disclosed. A storage element having a data input terminal, a clock input terminal and a data output terminal is able to capture a logic value of a data signal on the data input terminal with a substantially zero setup time at an active edge of a clock signal. Furthermore, some embodiments of the storage element are able to drive the captured logic value until the next active edge. One embodiment of the storage element includes a control circuit coupled to an output driver circuit. Depending on the state of the data input signal during an active edge, the control circuit can drives a first control signal to the output driver circuit or a second control signal to the output driver circuit. The output driver drives a data output signal on the data output terminal of the storage element based on the values of the control signals.
