Abstract :
A programmable dynamic logic circuit for use in reconfigurable fabrics is described. The proposed circuit is based upon dynamic domino CMOS logic. This approach for implementing reconfigurable logic provides added flexibility in programmable datapaths by allowing the implementation of complex logic structures that are not feasible with the configurable logic blocks used in conventional FPGAs. An important application is the acceleration of the critical path found in the carry-chain of a wide-bit adder.
