    摘要: A compressor circuit includes a plurality of inputs, a sum output, and a plurality of XOR circuits. Each XOR circuit of the plurality of XOR circuits includes first, second and third inputs, and a first output. The XOR circuit is configured to generate a logic value A⊕B⊕C at the first output, where A, B and C are logic values at the corresponding first, second and third inputs, and “⊕” is the XOR logic operation. The plurality of XOR circuits includes first and second XOR circuits. The first, second and third inputs of the first XOR circuit are coupled to corresponding inputs among the plurality of inputs of the compressor circuit. The first output of the first XOR circuit is coupled to the first input of the second XOR circuit. The first output of the second XOR circuit is coupled to the sum output.

    摘要: A clock gating circuit includes a NOR logic gate, a transmission gate, a cross-coupled pair of transistors, and a first transistor. The NOR logic gate is coupled to a first node, and receives a first and a second enable signal, and outputs a first control signal. The transmission gate is coupled between the first and a second node, and receives the first control signal, an inverted clock input signal and a clock output signal. The cross-coupled pair of transistors is coupled between the second node and an output node, and receives at least a second control signal. The first transistor includes a first gate terminal configured to receive the inverted clock input signal, a first drain terminal coupled to the output node, and a first source terminal coupled to a reference voltage supply. The first transistor adjusts the clock output signal responsive to the inverted clock input signal.

    摘要: A method includes: identifying ad hoc groups of elementary standard cells recurrent in a layout diagram, selecting one of the recurrent ad hoc groups (selected group) such that: the elementary standard cells in the selected group have connections representing a corresponding logic circuit; each elementary standard cell representing a logic gate; each ad hoc group has a number of transistors and a first number of logic gates; and the selected group providing a logical function. The method includes generating one or more macro standard cells such that: each macro standard cell has a number of transistors which is smaller than the number of transistors of the corresponding ad hoc group; or each macro standard cell has a second number of logic gates different than the first number of logic gates of the corresponding ad hoc group. The method also includes adding macro standard cells to the set of standard cells.

    摘要: A flip-flop circuit includes a first latch, a second latch and a trigger circuit. The first latch is configured to set a first output signal based on a first input signal and a clock signal. The second latch is configured to set a second output signal based on a second input signal and the clock signal. The trigger circuit is coupled with the first latch and the second latch. The trigger circuit is configured to generate the second input signal based on at least the second output signal. The trigger circuit is configured to cause the second input signal to have different voltage swings based on the first output signal and the second output signal. The trigger circuit includes a logic circuit coupled to at least the first latch or the second latch. The logic circuit is configured to output the second output signal.
