    摘要: A method and system for simulating an integrated circuit. The method includes the steps of performing a timing analysis of the circuits to ensure that they meet specified timing criteria, performing soft error analysis of the circuits to determine whether they meet specified soft error criteria, and improving those circuits that fail the soft error analysis to improve their resistance to soft errors and having no degradation on timing.

    摘要: A DTCMOS circuit produces an output based on a logical combination of input logic signals. The circuit includes input transistors which receive on a respective gate a respective logic signal. The transistors have a body contact which is connected to the gate of another transistor. Transistors which are receiving later arriving logic signals therefore have a threshold voltage lowered by an earlier arriving logic signal. By coupling the earlier arriving logic signal with a body contact of another input transistor, the threshold voltage may be lowered prior to processing of the subsequently arriving logic signal. The DTCMOS circuit may be implemented in SOI with the attendant benefits of a lower supply made possible by the lowered voltage threshold each of the transistors without sacrificing leakage current inherent in DTCMOS circuits.
