    摘要: Circuitry for eliminating charge sharing noise in MOS dynamic logic circuits is described. Dynamic logic circuits having stacks of MOS devices controlling the state of a common node defining the output logic state of the circuit are susceptible to charge sharing noise. This noise ultimately arises from leakage and stray capacitances at the nodes between MOS devices in each stack which the common node must supply. The noise is eliminated by employing MOS devices associated with the MOS devices in the stacks to couple the nodes between stack MOS devices to a supply voltage until their associated stack device changes logic state. On the changing state of the associated stack device, the node charging MOS device turns off, allowing the nodes to assume states defined by the input signals to the dynamic logic circuit.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is effective to preserve logic state potential levels in logic circuitry notwithstanding alpha particle collisions. Cross-coupled circuitry, including active devices, are implemented in a complementary logic circuit arrangement to hold current logic values in the event of a premature switching such as a switching that may be induced by alpha particle collision with the semiconductor logic circuit. Stabilizing transistor switching devices are arranged to sense an inappropriate or premature switching initiation and respond thereto by operating to maintain the appropriate logic levels within the logic circuitry. In one embodiment, the internal node of an upper circuit in a dual-rail logic circuit is connected to a gate terminal of a cross-coupled PFET device in the lower circuit. The cross-coupled PFET device is operable to sense an initiated untimely switching action in the upper circuit and effect a re-application of the holding PFET in the upper circuit to re-establish the appropriate logic potential levels in the upper circuit.

    摘要: A dynamic logic circuit is capable of receiving both dynamic and static input signals during both the precharge and evaluate phases of the logic circuit, and the static input signal is permitted to switch from both a low level to a high level and a high level to a low level during such stages and the logic circuit is still capable of correctly evaluating the implemented logical operation on the static and dynamic input signals. This is performed in CMOS by coupling a PFET between the internal precharge node and a voltage reference source where the gate electrode of the PFET device receives the static input signal.

    摘要: A dynamic-static logical control element for signaling an interval between the end of a control signal and a logical evaluation provides a compact circuit for blocking the indication of a non-evaluated state of a dynamic logic gate until a control signal has ended. The control signal is connected to a precharge input of the control element and a summing node is connected to one or more evaluation trees and to the control element output via an inverter. The inverter is connected to an override circuit that forces the output of the control element to a state opposite the precharge state until the control signal has ended. The output of the control element then assumes a state corresponding to the precharge state until an evaluation occurs. The control element output thus produces a window signal indicating the interval between the end of the control signal and the evaluation.

    摘要: According to one form, a latch has an output node and sublatches. The sublatches each have an output node coupled to input circuitry and feedback circuitry coupled to the sublatch's output node for reinforcing an output signal of the sublatch. The sublatches are operable to receive a data signal at their respective input circuitry and to generate output signals on their respective output nodes. At least one sublatch output node is coupled to the latch output node. The output nodes of other ones of the sublatches are connected in the latch such that if any one of the sublatches is subjected to a radiation induced erroneous change of state the output signals of the other sublatches reduce an effect of the change on the latch output signal. The latch also includes a number of scanning-mode control switches coupled to ones of the sublatches for scanning data in or out.

    摘要: A logic circuit includes an inverter for generating a complement of an output signal from another logic circuit for input to a dynamic logic circuit. The dynamic logic circuit is capable of receiving both the complement signal and dynamic input signals during both the precharge and evaluate phases of the dynamic logic circuit. The complement signal is permitted to switch from both a low level to a high level and a high level to a low level during such stages with the dynamic logic circuit still capable of correctly evaluating the implemented logical operation of the dynamic logic circuit on the complement signal and the dynamic input signals. A p-channel FET is coupled between the internal precharge node and a voltage reference source where the gate electrode of the p-channel FET device receives the complement signal. Such a configuration eliminates the need for duplicate circuitry necessary to generate the complement signal for use by the dynamic logic circuit and also eliminates the addition of clock skew necessary to prevent potential false switching when using a complement signal generated by simple inversion.

    摘要: A method, system and apparatus for detecting soft errors in non-dataflow circuits. In a preferred embodiment, input is received at a latch system. The latch system consists of two pairs of latches. The second pair of latches is parallel to the first pair of latches. Both pairs of latches capture the input. However, the second pair of latches captures the input later in time relative to the first pair of latches latch. The captured input is then transferred from the first latch in each pair of latches to the second latch in each pair of latches. A comparison is made of the input in the two second latches. If the input captured in the two second latches is not the same, then a message is sent to a recovery unit.
