Abstract

骨牌電路 設計自動化 domino circuit design automation
Domino logic is widely used in today's high performance circuit design. Although domino logic has high speed property than static CMOS logic, commercial tools do not support any special synthesis methods for domino logic. Therefore domino logic synthesis might not have good timing results when using traditional synthesis flow. In this paper, we have purposed following several methods: partially collapse, output phase assignment for timing improvement, remove foot NMOS, and pin assignment to improve circuit timing, but pin assignment does not have good results in our experiments, so we do not use in our final experiments. The other three methods presented here are combined with domino circuit traditional synthesis flow. Our works have better timing results of up to 47% than synthesizing circuits with 0.13um static CMOS library developed by Faraday Corporation.
