Abstract

Pass logic circuit topology with restored signal levels has proven to be very effective in realizing logic functions leading to high speed operation with low power dissipation. In this paper, a synthesis method for combinational logic functions is presented. It is based on Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagram (ROBDD), and uses a set of seven pass logic cells. The synthesized circuit is generated in the form of SPICE netlist
