摘要： A system and method for implementing arithmetic logic unit (ALU) support for value-based control dependence sequences. According to a first embodiment of the present invention, an ALU generates a carry-out signal designating one of a first and second value as a larger value. In response to the carry-out signal, the ALU updates a storage location with a third value, which is the larger value. According to a second embodiment of the present invention, an ALU generates a carry-out signal designating one of a first and second value as a larger value. In response to the carry-out signal, the ALU updates a storage location with a third value. The third value is a fourth value, if the carry-out signal designates the first value as the larger value or the third value is a fifth value, if the carry-out signal designates the second value as the larger value.

摘要： An LSDL circuit replaces the normal clock control of the pre-charge device for the dynamic node with a control signal that is logic zero whenever the circuit is in an active mode and is a logic one when the circuit is in standby mode. The pre-charge device holds the dynamic node at a pre-charged logic one state independent of the clock. During the logic one evaluate time of the clock, the logic tree determines the asserted state of the dynamic node. During the evaluate time, the asserted state is latched by the static LSDL section. The dynamic node then re-charges to the pre-charge state. Since the pre-charge device is not de-gated during the evaluate time, the dynamic node cannot be inadvertently discharged by noise causing an error. Likewise, since the clock does not couple to the pre-charge device a load is removed from the clock tree lowering clock power.
摘要翻译：只要电路处于活动模式，LSDL电路用动态节点的预充电装置的正常时钟控制替代逻辑零的控制信号，并且当电路处于待机模式时，逻辑为逻辑1。预充电装置将动态节点保持在与时钟无关的预充电逻辑1状态。在逻辑1期间评估时钟的时间，逻辑树确定动态节点的被断言状态。在评估时间期间，断言状态由静态LSDL部分锁存。然后动态节点重新充电到预充电状态。由于在评估时间期间预充电装置没有被去门，所以动态节点不能被无意中的噪声放电，导致错误。类似地，由于时钟不耦合到预充电装置，所以从时钟树中降低时钟功率的负载被去除。

摘要： A buffer/driver having large output devices for driving multiple loads is configured with three parallel paths. The first logic path is made of small devices and is configured to provide the logic function of the buffer/driver without the ability to drive large loads. Second and third logic paths have the logic function of the first logic path up to the last inverting stage. The last inverting stage in each path is a single device for driving the logic states of the buffer output. The second and third logic paths have power-gating that allows the input to the pull-up and pull-down devices to float removing gate-leakage voltage stress. When the second and third logic paths are power-gated, the first logic path provides a keeper function to hold the logic state of the buffer output. The buffer/driver may be an inverter, non-inverter, or provide a multiple input logic function.

摘要： A dynamic logic gate has an asymmetrical dual-gate PFET device for charging a dynamic node during a pre-charge phase of a clock. A logic tree evaluates the dynamic node during an evaluate phase of the clock. The front gate of the asymmetrical dual-gate PFET device is coupled to the clock signal and the back gate is coupled to the ground potential of the power supply. When the clock is a logic zero both the front gate and the back gate are biased ON and the dynamic node charges with maximum current. The clock signal transitions to a logic one during the evaluation phase of the clock turning OFF the front gate. The back gate remains ON and the asymmetrical dual-gate PFET device operates as a keeper device with a current level sufficient to counter leakage on the dynamic node.

摘要： A low power consumption pipeline circuit architecture has power partitioned pipeline stages. The first pipeline stage is non-power-gated for fast response in processing input data after receipt of a valid data signal. A power-gated second pipeline stage has two power-gated modes. Normally the power rail in the power-gated second pipeline stage is charged to a first voltage potential of a pipeline power supply. In the first power gated mode, the power rail is charged to a threshold voltage below the first voltage potential to reduce leakage. In the second power gated mode, the power rail is decoupled from the first voltage potential. A power-gated third pipeline stage has its power rail either coupled to the first voltage potential or power-gated where its power rail is decoupled from the first voltage potential. The power rail of the second power-gated pipeline stage charges to the first voltage potential before the third power-gated pipeline stage.

摘要： A method and apparatus performing rotate operations using cascaded multiplexers provides a scalable rotator circuit having a sub-field rotate capability that requires no additional interconnects at the sub-field endpoints. The rotator performs bit field swap operations at each stage of a series of cascaded multiplexers. The bit field size increases monotonically from a single bit to half of the rotator operand size. The control logic selects swap operations for each individual bit field at each stage, in order to arrange a desired rotated output vector.
