Abstract
A method for synthesizing a domino logic circuit design from a source circuit definition using a static logic circuit synthesis tool includes generating a preliminary domino logic circuit design using the circuit synthesis tool and optimizing an attribute of the preliminary domino logic circuit design by substituting a static cell design for a domino cell design having a same function in the preliminary domino logic circuit design.
Claims18
A method for synthesizing a domino logic circuit design from a logic circuit design using a static logic synthesis tool, comprising:
- bounding inputs and outputs of said logic circuit design by flip-flops having static slave latches to enable data at outputs of the flip-flops to be retrieved when the flip-flops enter precharge modes;
- mapping said logic circuit design onto a domino logic cell library having cells that are described as static cell;
- and
- using said static logic synthesis tool to partition the domino logic circuit design into different timing regions.
