Transistor Sizing Analysis of Regular Fabrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an extensive transistor sizing analysis for regular transistor fabrics. Several evaluation methods have been exploited, such as DC simulations, ring oscillators and single-gate open chain structures. Different design aspects are addressed taking into account stacked transistors, cells with drive strengths and circuit critical paths. The performance degradation of using regular fabrics in comparison to standard cells is naturally expected, but it is quite important to evaluate the dimension of such impact. The results were obtained for predictive PTM45 CMOS parameters, and the conclusions can be easily extrapolated to other technology nodes and fabrication processes.

متن کاملCrosstalk Reduction by Transistor Sizing
In this paper we consider transistor sizing to reduce crosstalk. First, crosstalk noise dependency on wire width, wire spacing, driver and receiver sizes are discussed, and validated by experiments. Then transistor sizing for timing and noise is discussed and solved using optimization techniques. Experimental results suggest that crosstalk violations can be removed by transistor sizing with ver...

AbstructA direct approach to transistor sizing for minimizing the power consumption of a CMOS circuit under a delay constraint is presented. In contrast to the existing assumption that the power consumption of a static CMOS circuit is proportional to the active area of the circuit, it is shown that the power consumption is a convex function of the active area. Analytical formulation for the pow...
