Abstract:

In this paper, a new logic-design style called Pseudo Dynamic Logic (SDL) is introduced. In this logic-design style, the internal nodes of the logic circuits are not precharged to high or low values, rather the initial charges on nodes are shared to yield an intermediate precharge value for faster evaluation. A 32-bit adder has been designed and simulated using HSPICE Level-49 parameters of a 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS process. Simulated measurements on this adder show that the worst-case delay is 1.56 ns. This demonstrates 2.1 times speed improvement in comparison to a domino dynamic logic design implemented with the same technology.
