Introduction
Mixed Logic Circuits
– Relatively new area of research
– Circuits composed of more than one logic type
Reason to Use
– Each logic type has different advantages /
disadvantages
– By implementing two logics, gain advantages of both
Current Trends
Industry Trend
Lower power
Higher speed
Smaller area
Research Trend
Recent papers published in mixed logic design
Papers focused on PTL / CMOS circuits
Background
Standard CMOS Characteristics
Most commonly used logic in VLSI design
Ease of use, well developed synthesis methods
High noise margins
Low power consumption
No static power dissipation
Good current driving capabilities
Background cont’d
Pass Transistor Logic Characteristics
Widely used alternative to complementary CMOS
Fewer transistors are required for a given function
Reduced number of transistors means there is
lower capacitance
Dedicated buffers need to be inserted to boost
driving strength

Discussion of Results
SCMOS has the best characteristics for
low voltage speed and power dissipation
No real motivation to develop mixed
circuits with these other types of logic
CMOS and PTL
CMOS and CPL Behavior
Results from adder
simulation
– CPL has lower power
dissipation across all
supply voltages
– CPL has lower delay
time across all supply
voltages
Mixed PTL/CMOS Logic
PTL/CMOS logic circuits will be superior
Better area, power and delay compared to
conventional CMOS or PTL
Low power, high performance design
driven by PTL cell selection and synthesis
technique to produce the mixed structure
Mixed PTL/CMOS Example
Pass-transistor/CMOS Collaborated Logic: The Best Of Both
Worlds

Design assigned selector functions to PTL
AND/OR logic functions mapped to CMOS
Design Example
Design based on this Boolean equation:
Out1 = B * A’ + C * A ( I’ * F’ + D’ ) *
( D + ( H + E’) * ( E + G ))
Out2 = B’ + ( I’ + F’ + D’ ) *
( D + ( H + E’) * ( E + G )))’

Experimental Results
Experimental Results cont’d
Benchmark simulations show
the mixed circuits have better
characteristics than pure PTL
or CMOS
– 20% in area vs. CMOS
– 40% in power vs. CMOS
Design flexibility
– ↑% of PTL, ↓ power but ↑ area
Design Project Plan
Implement an algorithm in PTL
For mixed logic design, implement MUX
and XOR/XNOR type logic functions in
PTL and the remaining functions in Static
CMOS
Compare and discuss power consumption
and delay
