Energy Recovery Capacitance Coupling Logic and Its Synthesis Methodology

能量回收电容耦合逻辑及其综合方法(英文)

A novel energy recovery logic style ERCCL （energy recovery capacitance coupling logic） , which has good energy performance compared to the conventional CMOS logic and other advanced energy recovery logic, is proposed. ERCCL uses capacitance coupling to perform a logic function, so it can energy-efficiently implement a high fan-in complex logic in a single gate. ERCCL is also a type of threshold logic. The gate count of a system based on ERCCL can be significantly reduced,which,in turn,will decrease the energy loss. A threshold logic synthesis methodology for ERCCL is also presented. MCNC benchmarks are run through the proposed synthesis methodology. The results indicate that about an 80% reduction in gate count can be obtained when compared with the synthesis results of SIS.

提出了一种新型能量回收电路ERCCL(能量回收电容耦合逻辑),该电路的能耗低于传统CMOS电路及其他能量回收电路.ERCCL利用电容耦合进行逻辑求值,因此可以在一个门中低能耗地实现高扇入、高复杂度的逻辑.同时ERCCL是一种阈值逻辑.所以一个基于ERCCL的系统可以大大减少逻辑门数,从而降低系统能耗.针对ERCCL提出了一种阈值逻辑综合方法.用基准电路集MCNC做了相应的实验.与SIS的综合结果相比,该方法大约减少80%的逻辑门.
