Abstract: A clock buffer includes a clocked pull-up transistor and a clocked pull-down transistor. The clocked pull-up transistor has a drain coupled to an output line and a gate coupled to a clock signal line. The clocked pull-down transistor includes a drain coupled to the output line, a gate coupled to the clock signal line, and having a width Y. The buffer further includes a first pull-down transistor having a drain coupled to a source of the clocked pull-down transistor, a gate coupled to a first input signal line, and having a width that is at least 10% greater than Y. This clock buffer provides reduced power consumption in comparison to a more conventional clock buffer.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for compensating for current-change induced voltage changes is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital throttle unit coupled to an instruction pipeline may generate a compensating current signal, which may then cause a dummy load to consume a compensating current. In another embodiment, a counter responsive to changes in clock frequency may generate a ramp current signal, which may then cause a dummy load to consume a current corresponding to the ramp current signal.

Abstract: An N-bit conditional sum adder comprised of a number of 2-bit adders coupled in series. The 2-bit adders have a sum generation circuit which computes two sum bits from two 2-bit inputs. Each sum bit is processed by a maximum of two multiplexers in series for factoring any carry-ins from preceding 2-bit adders, regardless of the total number of N bits to be added. A carry generation circuit generates two carry signals. The appropriate carry signal is selected for propagation by a multiplexer comprised of a number of p-n passgates. The two carry signals plus their complements are first buffered before being input to the multiplexer. The multiplexer outputs the appropriate carry signal and its complement to be input to a succeeding 2-bit adder and for controlling a succeeding multiplexer selection.
