An improved pass transistor synthesis method for low power, high speed CMOS circuits

Abstract

A synthesis method for generating hybrid pass gate circuits is presented. These circuits combine features from both complementary CMOS and pass gates architectures. The simulation results using a 0.7 /spl mu/m technology show that circuits synthesized according to the proposed method may achieve significant improvements in terms of area, power and delay over traditional full swing pass transistor logic and complementary CMOS.
