    摘要: The circuit library available for logic synthesis is limited to a single dynamic circuit block or logic synthesis block. The circuit design method includes first defining the logic synthesis block and then performing logic synthesis for a predetermined logical operation to be implemented. The logic synthesis step constrained to the single logic synthesis block produces an intermediate circuit design which necessarily comprises a series of dynamic circuit blocks, each associated with a single reset signal. Once the intermediate circuit is produced, the circuit design method includes eliminating unnecessary devices from the intermediate circuit to produce a final logic circuit, and then sizing the devices in the final circuit to complete the design.

The circuit design method includes first defining the logic synthesis block (16) and then performing logic synthesis (17) for a predetermined logical operation to be implemented. The logic synthesis step constrained to the single logic synthesis block produces an intermediate circuit design (29) which necessarily comprises a series of dynamic circuit blocks, each associated with a single reset signal.

    摘要: An apparatus, a method and a computer program product are provided for conserving energy during functional mode of a processor by disabling the scan chain. By inserting logic gating into the scan chain it is possible to disable the scan chain during the processor's functional mode. During functional mode the scan out port of the latch bit in a scan chain toggles, which leads to unnecessary energy consumption. By gating scan control signals and the scan out port of a latch bit, the scan chain segment between latch bits can be disconnected. Therefore, the scan control signals can disable the scan chain during functional mode.

    摘要: A dynamic node keeper device for a dynamic strobe circuit is controlled by the signal at the intermediate node, that is, the signal at the output of the strobe component. By controlling the dynamic node keeper device through the strobe component output, the keeper device is active or conductive only when necessary to protect against noises in the pull down network for the strobe circuit. At all other times in the course of operation of the dynamic strobe circuit, the dynamic node keeper device according to the invention is nonconductive or inactive. Thus, the dynamic strobe circuit according to the invention reduces power consumption.

    摘要: A cycle control circuit for use with a memory device subarray and method of operation thereof. The cycle control circuit includes a previous address buffer for storing a last accessed address of the subarray and an address comparator for comparing a current requested address with the last accessed address in the previous address buffer. The cycle control circuit also includes a cycle counter, coupled to the address comparator, that receives a control signal generated by the address comparator and, in response thereto, modifies a reset operation of the subarray. In another aspect, the method includes applying an address to the subarray and generating control signals for the subarray to produce a data output in response to the address. After producing the data output, the applied address is stored. Next, a new address is received and the new address is compared to the stored address. In response to the stored and new addresses being the same, the reset operation of the subarray is modified to again generate the data output in a shorter period of time.
