Full TextAbstract
As the CMOS manufacturing process scales down into the ultra deep sub-micron regime, the gate leakage currents become an increasingly more important consideration in VLSI circuit design. In this paper, a high speed and noise immune domino logic circuit is presented which uses the property of the footer transistor to alleviate the sensitivity of the dynamic node to noise and results in improved performance. The new circuit has been added to conventional footed standard domino logic for highly improving leakage tolerance, especially at the beginning of the evaluation phase. Our proposed circuit increases the noise immunity by least 2X compared to previous circuits. Simulated results have been obtained with HSPICE using the 70nm Berkeley predictive model[1].
