Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a logic synthesis tool designed specifically to work with a reduced set cell library based primarily on pass logic circuit cells in combination with standard CMOS gates. Circuits synthesized with this tool were compared to circuits synthesized by Synopsys´ Design Analyzer using a standard CMOS cell library, for the same benchmarks. An average of 43% improvement in power-delay product has been achieved
