    摘要: The present invention is a novel method of interfacing static logic to domino logic. A static logic block is connected to one input of a domino evaluation tree. The domino evaluation tree operates only during a brief window of time, while an evaluation control block is ON. Since the input to the domino gate only must be stable during this brief window of time, there is no need to latch the output of the static logic.

    摘要: The present invention is an improved interface between monotonic and non-monotonic domino logic. A monotonic domino logic block is clocked by CLK. The last stage of the monotonic domino logic is clocked by the delayed clock, DCLK, to extend its evaluation period beyond Phase I by a brief window of time, t.sub.d. The true output and the inverted output of the last stage of the monotonic domino logic block are inputs to a non-monotonic domino evaluation tree. The non-monotonic domino evaluation tree operates while an evaluation control block is ON. The evaluation control block is ON only during that extension of the evaluation period, t.sub.d, for a time less than or equal to the period t.sub.d. Since the output of the last stage of the monotonic logic block remains stable during this extended evaluation period, and the non-monotonic domino evaluation tree operates at most during this window of time, there is no need to use latches or use a dual rail implementation for the monotonic logic.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in a domino logic is provided. An input of the domino logic block has as an output of an upstream logic block. A first state, e.g. default or idle, of the output of the upstream logic block is determined. The an output of the domino logic block corresponding to the said first state is determined. A logic block is modified, such that the output of the domino logic block for the first state is the same as a precharge state of the output. This results in preventing the output of the domino logic block from toggling when the first state is the input to the domino logic block.

    摘要: A technique for reducing power consumption in a data storage device consisting of a number of data cells includes arranging the number of data cells in clusters, each cluster having more than one data cell having their data enable inputs connected together. A data write bus is provided to provide data enable signals to the data enable inputs of the number of data cells. A number of pass gates are respectively disposed between the clusters and the write data bus. The pass gates are selectively enabled to allow data enable signals to pass from the write data bus to the data enable inputs of the more than one data cell of a selected one or more of the clusters. A number of inverters may be respectively disposed between the number of pass gates and the clusters. A number of sustainer circuits may be respectively connected to the number of pass gates. Each of the pass gates may include a pair of field effect transistors which may be complementary field effect transistors. Each of the sustainer circuits may include a pair of back-to-back inverters.
