Abstract

In this paper, two methods for high fan-in dynamic OR gates are proposed. The methods are called high-speed low-swing OR gate (HSLS-OR) and low-power selective evaluate OR gate (LPSE-OR). HSLS-OR contains separate parallel NMOS logic trees in which one controls the evaluation phase of the other ones. This leads to a low voltage swing in the dynamic capacitive nodes. In LPSE-OR, the NMOS logic tree is divided into several successive parts to prevent using strong keepers. Unnecessary parts are disabled in the evaluation phase for saving the power. (16, 32, and 64)-bit HSLS-OR and (32 and 64)-bit LPSE-OR gates are simulated using HSPICE in 65 nm bulk CMOS technology. Compared to the previous works, the new circuits show 34-48% better power delay product (PDP)
