Abstract

In this paper, we describe skewed static logic (S/sup 2/L) with topology-dependent dual Vt which exhibits energy-efficient operation. S/sup 2/L consumes less dynamic and static power compared to Monotonic Static (MS) CMOS. Speed degradation of S/sup 2/L can be offset by the accelerator. We have designed NAND-NOR gate chains using 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS technology and verified that S/sup 2/L reduces energy/spl times/delay over MS CMOS by 27-50%. Synthesis algorithm for S/sup 2/L developed and the experimental results show S/sup 2/L consumes 23% less power than MS CMOS with minor increase in delay.
