Dynamic Cmos Mimo Circuits With Feedback Inverter Loop And Pull-Down Bridge, Duo Zhang

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

Two novel techniques, feedback inverter loop and pull-down bridge, adopted for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) dynamic CMOS circuits have been proposed in this thesis. The pull-down bridge technique optimizes the area and power of a single stage MIMO dynamic CMOS circuits, and the feedback inverter loop (FIL) technique improves the speed of multiple-stage dynamic CMOS circuits. Applying the pull-down bridge to the MIMO dynamic CMOS seven segment decoder, it is shown that common paths of different outputs are shared and optimized, which accounts for 12% speed improvement, 48% power reduction, and 73% area saving, as compared to the conventional logic design. …
