As the {\tt \$dff} cells they have \B{CLK}, \B{D} and \B{Q} ports. In addition they also have

from the gate level logic network can be mapped to physical flip-flop cells from a Liberty file using the {\tt dfflibmap}
pass. The combinatorial logic cells can be mapped to physical cells from a Liberty file via ABC \citeweblink{ABC}
