Outline • Background • Introduction • Design of Low Order Gates • Design of Higher Order Gates • Input Pattern Ordering
Background • Design styles : • COMP • Partitioned • CPL • TG • DCVSL • DPL • LP • Power Consumption • Leakage Current Estimation
NAND XOR Complementary CMOS (COMP) • NMOS pull-down & dual PMOS pull-up • Complementary inputs • High number of transistors (XOR : 12) • …
Partitioned Logic (NAND) • Breaks down a higher order gate into lower order gates • Faster than a CMOS high order gate
NAND XOR Complementary Pass Logic (CPL) • Two NMOS logic networks • Two small pull-up PMOS transistors for swing restoration • Two output inverters for the complementary outputs • Number of transistors (10)
Transmission Gate (TG) XOR • An NMOS to pull-down and a PMOS to pull-up • Solution to the voltage-drop problem • Based on the Complementary properties of NMOS and PMOS • Low number of transistors (4)
Differential Cascade Voltage Switch Logic (DCVSL) XOR • Two NMOS logic networks • Two small pull-up PMOS transistors for swing restoration • Differential logic and positive feedback • Number of transistors (8)
Double Pass Logic (DPL) XOR • Dual-rail pass-gate logic • Both NMOS & PMOS logic networks are used in parallel • High number of transistor (12)
Low Power (LP) XOR • Using drivers to complete the high output logic when input is “11” • Low number of transistors (6)
Power consumption • Dynamic : switching • Short-circuit • Static: • Gate leakage • Sub-threshold leakage: • weak inversion current
Leakage Current Estimation • Number of stacked transistors • Parallel or series transistors
Introduction • Decreasing the Dimensions ? • Effects on power consumption • Solution and limitation • Leakage power reduction techniques: • Supply voltage reduction • Supply voltage gating • Multiple or increased threshold voltages • Minimizing leakage power consumption in sleep states
Parameters Variation • Berkeley Predictive Technology Models (BPTM) • Basic gates : NAND, NOR, XOR • Three DSM process tech. : 0.07, 0.1, and 0.13um • Different design styles : • NAND, NOR : COMP, Partitioned, CPL • XOR : COMP, CPL, TG, DCVSL, DPL, LP • FAN-in : 2, 4, 6, 8 • Input ordering
Design of Low Order Gates (NAND/NOR) • The leakage power of a CPL gate is four times that of the COMP gate • There are no stacks • Extra leakage current is drawn through: • level-restoring • output-driving circuitry • The leakage power in a CMOS circuit increases as the technology shrinks
Design of Low Order Gates (XOR) • LP (area, speed and power): • The least leakage power • Few transistors • Low delays • Low dynamic power • COMP • Low leakage power • Less than 30% worse than LP
Design of Higher Order Gates • COMP gate consumes less power • more transistors there in the stack • Partitioned logic is faster, for fan-in greater than 6
Input Pattern Ordering (2-input NAND) • leakage current in a stack is ‘almost’ independent of ordering for a constant number of ‘off’ transistors • the leakage power is the same for inputs “0,1” and “1,0” at 0.35u • the difference increases as the DSM process shrinks
Input Pattern Ordering (higher order gates) • The leakage power varied considerably for patterns containing only one ‘zero’ • For NMOS stacks (NAND gates): • a ‘zero’ closest to the output gives the largest IS1 • a ‘zero’ closest to ground gives the smallest IS1 • For PMOS stacks (NOR gates): • a ‘one’ closest to the output gives the largest IS1 • a ‘one’ closest to Vdd gives the smallest IS1
