A High-Performance Pipeline Mixed Static-Domino Circuit Synthesizer

In recent years, many research results have discussed the mixed static-domino high-speed circuit. However, most research neglects to discuss how to implement their results. Silicon Intellectual Property plays very important roles in the design of current complex integrated circuits. In this paper, we construct a new pipeline mixed static-domino high-speed circuit synthesized methodology. The cell-based automatic design flow takes high performance, low power, and skew tolerance issues into consideration. Moreover, the new domino and conventional static cell libraries are combined to synthesize a pipeline mixed static-domino circuit. The mixed static-domino circuit partition, synthesis, and optimization techniques are all adopted in this circuit synthesizer. In this paper, we aim to discuss how to partition and synthesize the circuit into static and domino circuit parts, which can adjust the circuit delay time, power consumption within this synthesis flow. Finally, several high-speed with low-power mixed experimental circuits are demonstrated.
