    摘要: A multiplexer circuit includes first and second fins each extending in an X-axis direction. First, second, third and fourth gates extend in a Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction and contact the first and second fins. The first, second, third and fourth gates are configured to receive first, second, third and fourth data signals, respectively. Fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth gates extend in the Y-axis direction and contact the first and second fins, the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth gates, and are configured to receive the first, second, third and fourth select signals, respectively. An input logic circuit is configured to provide an output at an intermediate node. A ninth gate extends in the Y-axis direction and contacts the first and second fins. An output logic circuit is configured to provide a selected one of the first, second, third and fourth data signals at an output terminal.

    摘要: A method (of expanding a set of standard cells which comprise a library, the library being stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium) includes: selecting one ad hoc group amongst ad hoc groups of elementary standard cells which are recurrent resulting in a selected group such that the elementary standard cells in the selected group having connections so as to represent a corresponding logic circuit, each elementary standard cell representing a logic gate, and the selected group corresponding providing a selected logical function which is representable correspondingly as a selected Boolean expression; generating, in correspondence to the selected group, one or more macro standard cells; and adding the one or more macro standard cells to, and thereby expanding, the set of standard cells; and wherein at least one aspect of the method is executed by a processor of a computer.

    摘要: An integrated circuit designing system includes a non-transitory storage medium that is encoded with first and second sets of standard cell layouts that are configured for performing a selected function and which correspond to a specific manufacturing process. The manufacturing process is characterized by a nominal minimum pitch (T) for metal lines with each of the standard cell layouts being characterized by a cell height (H) that is a non-integral multiple of the nominal minimum pitch. The system also includes a hardware processor coupled to the storage medium for executing a set of instructions for generating an integrated circuit layout utilizing a combination of the first and second set of standard cell layouts and the nominal minimum pitch. The first and second sets of standard layouts are related in that each of the second set of standard cell layouts corresponds to a transformed version of a corresponding standard cell layout from the first set of standard cell layouts.

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

    摘要: A flip-flop circuit includes a first latch, a trigger stage and a second latch. The first latch is configured to latch a selected signal in response to a first state of a clock signal, and provide a first output signal. The trigger stage receives the clock signal and the first output signal to provide a trigger signal. The trigger signal does not toggle as the clock signal transits. The second latch is configured to latch the trigger signal in response to a second state of the clock signal, and provide a second output signal. The first state and the second state of the clock signal are complementary to each other.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device which includes a multiplexer, a master latch, and a slave latch. The multiplexer outputs an inverse of an input data signal or an inverse scan input signal according to a scan enable signal. The master latch is coupled to an output terminal of the multiplexer, and is configured to latch the inverse of the input data signal based on an input clock signal in response to the scan enable signal being in a low-logic state. The slave latch is coupled to the output terminal of the multiplexer through a first clocked CMOS inverter, and is configured to receive the input data signal and to output a latched slave latch data based on the input clock signal. A leakage-free dummy cell is disposed in a non-critical path of the master latch and the slave latch.
