Dual Threshold Voltage Domino Logic Synthesis for High Performance with Noise and Power Constraint
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a new dual threshold voltage technique for domino logic. Since domino logic is much more sensitive to noise, noise margins have to be taken into account when applying dual threshold voltages to domino logic. To guarantee the signal integrity in domino logic, we carefully consider the effect of transistor sizing and threshold voltage selection. For optimal design, tradeoffs need to be made among noise margin, power, and performance. Based on the characteristics of each logic gate, we propose noise and power constrained domino logic synthesis for high performance. ISCAS85 benchmark results show that performance can be improved up to with active power increase, while maintaining noise margin.

Domino Logic Circuit with Reduced Leakage and Improved Noise Margin
As the technology is continuously scaled, leakage currents become a major contributor to the total power dissipation. A reduction in power supply voltage is necessary to reduce dynamic power and avoid reliability problems in deep sub-micron (DSM) regimes. Threshold voltage reduction accompanies supply voltage scaling to maintain the performance, but it exponentially increases the subthreshold l...

Domino logic circuits have faster operating speed than commonly used static logic ones, because they have lower input capacitances and no contention during transition. However, Domino logic circuits have more power dissipation than static logic ones, since their clock tress with high switch activity dissipates large energy.
