    摘要: A low loss on-die interconnect structure includes first and second differential signal lines on one of the metal layers of a microelectronic die. One or more traces may also be provided on another metal layer of the die that are non-parallel (e.g., orthogonal) to the differential signal lines. Because the traces are non-parallel, they provide a relatively high impedance return path for signals on the differential signal lines. Thus, a signal return path through the opposite differential line predominates for the signals on the differential lines. In one application, the low loss interconnect structure is used within an on-die salphasic clock distribution network.

    摘要: A hierarchical clock distribution system includes a global clock grid that distributes a clock signal to a plurality of regional clock grids. Each of the regional clock grids then distributes the signal to a plurality of corresponding loads. The regional clock grids utilize salphasic clocking techniques to distribute the clock signal to the corresponding loads. The global grid achieves low skew based on the periodicity of the clock signal, rather than the dominance of a standing wave. The electrical distance to termination within the regional clock grids is preferably kept low to avoid the occurrence of phase change regions on the regional grids. In one approach, the regional grids are each driven at multiple points in a symmetrical fashion to reduce the electrical distance to termination.

    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.

In one embodiment, the method includes computing a carry-in for at least one group of a predetermined number of bits of a propagate and a generate signal formed from a plurality of logical address components. Once the carry-in is computed, a plurality of conditional sums are generated for a logic 0 carry-in and a logic 1 carry-in. Subsequently, a sum is selected from the plurality of conditional sums to form a first portion of an effective address from the logical address components in a first stage and a second portion of the effective address in a second stage. In one embodiment, a fully dynamic high-performance sparse tree adder circuit that generates one in four carries, is used to form an address generation circuit, in accordance with one embodiment.
