Dynamic Logic Introduction
Dynamic CMOS l In static circuits at every point in time (except when switching) the output is connected to either GND or VDD via a low resistance path. l l fan-in of n requires 2 n (n N-type + n P-type) devices Dynamic circuits rely on the temporary storage of signal values on the capacitance of high impedance nodes. l requires on n + 2 (n+1 N-type + 1 P-type) transistors

Conditions on Output l l l Once the output of a dynamic gate is discharged, it cannot be charged again until the next precharge operation. Inputs to the gate can make at most one transition during evaluation. Output can be in the high impedance state during and after evaluation (PDN off), state is stored on CL
Properties of Dynamic Gates l Logic function is implemented by the PDN only l l number of transistors is N + 2 (versus 2 N for static complementary CMOS) Full swing outputs (VOL = GND and VOH = VDD) Non-ratioed - sizing of the devices does not affect the logic levels Faster switching speeds l l l reduced load capacitance due to lower input capacitance (Cin) reduced load capacitance due to smaller output loading (Cout) no Isc, so all the current provided by PDN goes into discharging CL
Properties of Dynamic Gates l Overall power dissipation usually higher than static CMOS l l l PDN starts to work as soon as the input signals exceed VTn, so VM, VIH and VIL equal to VTn l l no static current path ever exists between VDD and GND (including Psc) no glitching higher transition probabilities extra load on Clk low noise margin (NML) Needs a precharge/evaluate clock

Issues in Dynamic Design 2: Charge Sharing Clk Mp Out A CL B=0 Clk CA Me CB Charge stored originally on CL is redistributed (shared) over CL and CA leading to reduced robustness

Issues in Dynamic Design 4: Clock Feedthrough Clk Mp A CL B Clk Out Me Coupling between Out and Clk input of the precharge device due to the gate to drain capacitance. So voltage of Out can rise above VDD. The fast rising (and falling edges) of the clock couple to Out.
