Abstract :
System structure and a taped out 0.18u 2 GHz product application result are described for a domino synthesis capability that covers all aspects of domino design, from estimation to silicon-ready layout, with custom-class optimization. The described optimization flow, abstraction modes, and key cost factors deliver power-optimized, noise-correct domino performance on complex logic.
