ECE 558 Introduction to VLSI Design

ECE 658 (NTU IC740-A) VLSI Design Principles

Lecture 9 (Fall 2006)

• Ratioed Logic: Pseudo-NMOS, etc., DC characterisitcs, timing, sizing, DCVSL.
• Pass Transistor Logic: DC, timing, Adder Example, optimal insertion of buffers
• Dynamic CMOS Logic Gates: Pre-charging, NP-CMOS, Domino
• more on CMOS Logic Gates: Adder Example

Coming up in next lecture

• Power estimation and optimization in CMOS gates
