Presenting methodologies for high speed ASIC design developed over several years in industry, this practical book covers issues related to the use of domino logic in an automated framework, and brings together all the knowledge needed to apply them in practice.
An overview of design techniques used to achieve high speed in ASIC designs is followed by chapters describing the design and characterization of domino logic standard cell libraries and an advanced domino logic synthesis flow. Actual results achieved by using automated domino logic design techniques, including silicon measurements, are presented to validate the methodology, whilst real-world design examples, such as...
