    摘要: In some embodiments, the invention includes a domino logic gate circuit having a domino state and a single ended domino compatible dual function generator. The domino state receives a domino stage input signal and provides a single ended intermediate signal as a function of the domino stage input signal, the intermediate signal having a state. The generator receives the intermediate signal and provides an out signal and an out* signal each having a state, wherein the out and out* signals have the same state during a precharge phase and have complementary states during an evaluate phase as a function of the state of the intermediate signal. In other embodiments, the invention includes domino logic gate circuit having a combined domino stage and dual function generator. The domino stage is to receive a domino stage input signal. The dual function generator is a single ended domino compatible dual function generator to provide an out signal and an out* signal that each have a state and during a precharge phase, the out signal and out* signal each have the same state, and during an evaluate phase the out and out* states are complementary states as a function of the domino stage input signal without a logic X circuit and a logic X* circuit.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention may provide methods and circuits for energy efficient floating point multiply and/or add operations. A variable precision floating point circuit may determine the certainty of the result of a multiply-add floating point calculation in parallel with the floating-point calculation. The variable precision floating point circuit may use the certainty of the inputs in combination with information from the computation, such as, binary digits that cancel, normalization shifts, and rounding, to perform a calculation of the certainty of the result. A floating point multiplication circuit may determine whether a lowest portion of a multiplication result could affect the final result and may induce a replay of the multiplication operation when it is determined that the result could affect the final result.

    摘要: A method includes: delaying an excursion of at least one signal a first number of clock phases when the excursion departs from a value in a first direction; and delaying the excursion of the at least one signal a second number of the clock phases when the excursion departs toward the value in a second direction. The first number of clock phases is different from the second number of clock phases. The at least one signal effects a plurality of succeeding excursions in substantial synchrony with a clocked signal presenting succeeding clock cycles having a plurality of the clock phases in each respective clock cycle.

    摘要: An apparatus includes: a signal receiving unit receiving an input signal and presenting a first signal varying within a first signal range; a signal treating unit coupled with the signal receiving unit, receiving the first signal and presenting a second signal varying within a second signal range; and an output unit coupled with the signal treating unit. The signal treating unit and the output unit receive a control signal. The signal treating unit responds to the control signal to provide the second signal to the output unit when the control signal has a first value and to not provide the second signal to the output unit when the control signal has a second value. The output unit permits presentation of an output signal when the control signal has the first value and establishes the output signal at a predetermined value when the control signal has the second value.
