  1. Carry Skip 4-Bit Blocks in Pass and DCVSL Logic Michael Morgan Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Microsystems Prototyping Laboratory Mississippi State University

  2. Carry Skip • Poor Man’s Acceleration Method • Pass transistor implementation adds 25 transistors • DCVSL implementation adds 40 transistors • Try to speed up worst case – propagate • 0 + 1 happens with 50% probability • The average length of the carry chain in a k-bit addition is log2(1.25k)1

  3. Carry Skip Block Diagram

  4. Pass Transistors Overview • Advantages • Low power • Good for Mux logic • Easily sized • Sizes decrease down a path • Disadvantages • No drive strength • Signals degrade due to channel resistance—must buffer • PMOS cannot pull down to Gnd • NMOS cannot pull up to Vdd • Good for Mux logic only Control Out In

  5. DCVSL Overview • Differential Cascade Voltage Switch Logic 2

  6. DCVSL Overview (continued) • Advantages • 2 PMOS per logic gate • Dual rail • Disadvantages • Dual rail • Sizing – incorrect sizing will cause functional failures • Power dissipated through crowbar current

  7. Pass/DCVSL Raw Data

  8. Results • DCVSL is faster • 200% for Tplh • 25% for Tphl • Why? Pass transistors have no drive • Pass transistors consume 29% less power • Why? No drive • Also, DCVSL has crowbar current

  9. Conclusions • Stick to CMOS! • Pass transistors may seem novel, but must buffer • I used full buffers • DCVSL must be sized correctly, or gates will not even function! • Also crowbar current can be power-hungry and slow
