Novel Delay Elements for Bundled-Data Transfer Circuits Based on Two-Phase Handshaking Protocols |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
A number of delay elements have been well studied since they are a basic component in VLSI designs. However, it is not clear how to design the optimum delay elements for the two-phase handshaking protocol in which both the rising delay and the falling delay must be larger than the critical path delay of the corresponding combinational circuit. In this paper, novel delay elements for bundled-data transfer circuits based on the two-phase handshaking protocol are proposed. Generally, critical paths of a combinational circuit may be varied due to environmental changes. The optimum static delay elements should be selected considering all the environmental changes. In addition, delay variations strongly depend on the transistor size and the circuit structure. In this paper, a circuit structure which contains several deep stack transistors with the minimum channel length is proposed in order to reduce the differences of the variation features between the delay elements and the corresponding combinational circuits. Several evaluation results are shown using the 28nm process technology. |
