Abstract :
Most existing differential CMOS logic circuits, including ones based on pass logic, are carefully classified by topology. The breakdown of design into distinct decisions allows more meaningful performance comparisons. A study based on local comparison of the energy-delay product of basic logic functions implemented with various static differential logic families is provided as an example. Various extensions are discussed, such as a comparison with dynamic logic families, an easy way to include single-ended logic families into this comparison, including global trade-offs that are application dependent, as well as using other technologies and performance metrics
