    • A dynamic logical circuit having a pre-charge element separately controlled by a voltage-asymmetric clock controlled provides increased noise immunity in dynamic digital circuits. By clocking the pre-charge element with a signal having a reduced swing in the voltage direction that turns off the pre-charge element, the pre-charge element provides a small current that prevents the dynamic summing node of a gate from erroneously evaluating due to noise, and eliminates the need for a keeper device. Providing the reduced-swing asymmetric clock as a separate signal prevents performance degradation in the rest of the circuit. Specifically, the foot devices in the dynamic portion of the circuit are controlled with the full swing clock so that evaluation is not compromised by noise or slowed. Foot and pull-up devices in any static portion of the circuit are also controlled with the full-swing clock so that switching speed and leakage immunity are not affected.

    • A method and apparatus for power consumption reduction in a limited-switch dynamic logic (LSDL) circuit provides reduced power consumption by reducing clock power dissipation. By clocking LSDL gates with a clock signal having a reduced voltage swing in the evaluation phase, the LSDL gates are permitted to operate, while reducing the clock power consumption dramatically. Since clock power consumption dominates in LSDL circuits, the reduction in clock power dissipation results in a significant reduction in overall circuit power consumption. The reduced swing clock is produced at a plurality of local clock buffers by supplying the local clock buffers with an extra power supply rail that is switched onto the clock distribution lines by the local clock buffers in response to the full-swing evaluate phase clock received from the global clock distribution network by the local clock buffers.
    • 有限开关动态逻辑(LSDL)电路中功耗降低的方法和装置通过减少时钟功率耗散来降低功耗。 通过在评估阶段对具有降低的电压摆幅的时钟信号对LSDL门进行时钟控制,允许LSDL栅极工作,同时显着降低时钟功耗。 由于时钟功耗主导于LSDL电路,因此时钟功耗的降低导致整体电路功耗的显着降低。 通过向本地时钟缓冲器提供额外的电源轨,在多个本地时钟缓冲器产生减小的摆动时钟,该额外的电源轨响应于从本地时钟缓冲器接收到的全摆幅评估相位时钟而被本地时钟缓冲器切换到时钟分配线 全局时钟分配网络由本地时钟缓冲区。

    • A method and system for manipulating data in a state holding elements array. Process data is moved through the state holding elements array by a process controller. A separate scan controller scans data out of the state holding elements array by scanning data out of a group of cascaded latches where there are insufficient extra state holding elements in the group to enable normal scan. A multiplicity of local scan clocks are utilized to shift selected amounts of data only when a next state holding element in the group has been made available by clearing the contents of that next state holding element. In this way, any given latch, for the purpose of scan, is not a dedicated master or slave latch, but can act as either. This invention also addresses a circuit for the creation of the multiplicity of local clocks from a conventional LSSD clock source.
    • 用于在保持元素数组的状态下操作数据的方法和系统。 过程控制器将过程数据移动通过状态保持元素数组。 单独的扫描控制器通过从组中不充足的额外状态保持元件的一组级联锁存器扫描数据来扫描状态保持元件阵列中的数据,以启用正常扫描。 仅当通过清除该下一状态保持元件的内容已经使该组中的下一状态保持元件可用时,才使用多个本地扫描时钟来移位所选择的数据量。 以这种方式,为了扫描的目的,任何给定的锁存器不是专用的主器件或从器件锁存器,而是可以作为任一个。 本发明还涉及用于从常规LSSD时钟源产生多个本地时钟的电路。

    • A 4-to-2 carry save adder using limited switching dynamic logic (LSDL) to reduce power consumption while reducing the delay of outputting the sum and carry bits. The 4-to-2 carry save adder may include a first LSDL circuit configured to output a sum bit. The carry save adder may further include a second LSDL circuit configured to output a carry bit. Both the first and second LSDL circuits use a carry generated in the current stage that was previously generated in the previous stage (next lower order bit position). Since the carry is generated in the current stage and not in the previous stage, the delay in outputting the sum and carry bits is reduced and hence the performance of carry save adders is improved. Further, since LSDL circuits were used in the carry save adder, power consumption was reduced while using a small amount of area.
    • 一个4对2进位保存加法器使用限制切换动态逻辑(LSDL)来减少功耗,同时减少输出和和传送位的延迟。 4对2进位存储加法器可以包括被配置为输出和位的第一LSDL电路。 进位保存加法器还可以包括被配置为输出进位位的第二LSDL电路。 第一LSDL电路和第二LSDL电路均使用先前在先前产生的当前阶段中生成的进位(下一个低位位置)。 由于进位在当前阶段而不是在前一阶段中产生,所以减少输出和和进位的延迟,从而提高进位保存加法器的性能。 此外,由于在进位保存加法器中使用LSDL电路,所以在使用少量的区域时功耗降低。

    • A method and ring oscillator circuit for measuring circuit delays over a wide operating range permits improved analysis of dynamic circuits. A pulse generator circuit provides a pulse to an input of a dynamic circuit under test, which may be a pre-charge or evaluation pulse that is triggered by a transition of an output of the dynamic circuit that occurs during the state opposite that of the state commanded by the pulse. The action of the circuit provides for measuring any amount of delay to the next transition in the opposite state irrespective of the pulse width. By providing a wide-range of operation, characteristics such as leakage, charge sharing, data dependent node capacitance, previous value dependence as well as other dynamic circuit behaviors may be determined. The ring oscillator circuit includes an enable start circuit that causes a first pulse to be generated by the one-shot when the ring oscillator circuit is enabled.
