DOMINO Noise Model: A New Crosstalk Noise Model for Dynamic Logic Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
DOMINO gates are more vulnerable to crosstalk-induced functional failures compared to static CMOS gates. Previously developed noise models generate pessimistic noise analysis because the effect of keeper in DOMINO is not properly incorporated. In this paper, a new crosstalk noise model is proposed for DOMINO logic gates. Our noise model takes the effect of keeper into account and provides more accurate noise measure. We define the degree of conservatism for noise models and show that our noise model dramatically reduces the pessimism.

Crosstalk at the Dynamic Node of Domino CMOS Circuits
The need for faster circuits in smaller area with lower power dissipation has made it a common practice to use the domino CMOS in high performance integrated circuits. However this improved performance comes at the cost of lower noise immunity. Also current trends in integrated circuit technology have increased chances of crosstalk due to capacitive coupling. Though several works have investiga...

In this paper, a new circuit scheme is proposed to reduce the power consumption of dynamic circuits. In the proposed circuit, an NMOS keeper transistor is used to maintain the voltage level in the output node against charge sharing, leakage current and noise sources. Using the proposed keeper scheme, the voltage swing on the dynamic node is lowered to reduce the power consumption of wide fan-in...

This paper describes a new circuit technique for designing noise-tolerant dynamic logic. It is shown that voltage scaling aggravates the crosstalk noise problem and reduces circuit noise immunity, motivating the need for noise-tolerant circuit design. In a 0.35m CMOS technology and at a given supply voltage, the proposed technique provides an improvement in noise immunity of 1 8 (for an AND gat...
متن کاملTimed Test Generation Crosstalk Switch Failures in Domino CMOS Circuits
As technology scales into the deep submicron regime, capacitive coupling between signal lines becomes a dominant problem. Capacitive coupling is more acute for domino logic circuits since an irreversible, unwanted gate output transition can result. We present a timed test generation methodology for CMOS domino circuits that assigns the circuit inputs so that capacitively-coupled aggressors of a...
متن کاملA Minimal-Cost Inherent-Feedback Approach for Low-Power MRF-Based Logic Gates
The Markov random field (MRF) theory has been accepted as a highly effective framework for designing noise-tolerant nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In MRF-based design, proper feedback lines are used to control noise and keep the circuits in their valid states. However, this methodology has encountered two major problems that have limited the application of highly noise immune MRF-based circui...
