Abstract

Standard static CMOS logic is responding to the requirement of high frequency and low power of digital systems. However, the digital switching noise generated by this logic is not suited for the design of performance mixed-signal integrated systems. In mixed-signal application the analog functionality can be affected by this digital switching noise and therefore resolution is degraded. The Current Steering Logic (CSL) is one of the well-known techniques capable of decreasing the switching noise [1,2]. Despite its static power consumption, the CSL is considered as a promising approach to achieve a good functionality in some mixed-signal application. In this paper a new automated design tool for deep submicron CSL library design is presented. This tool uses an iterative algorithm where EKV-MOSFET model [:3] is implemented to provide a good trade-off between power and speed.

Digital electronics

Digital electronics is a field of electronics involving the study of digital signals and the engineering of devices that use or produce them. This is in contrast to analog electronics and analog signals. Digital electronic circuits are usually made from large assemblies of logic gates, often packaged in integrated circuits. Complex devices may have simple electronic representations of Boolean logic functions. The binary number system was refined by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (published in 1705) and he also established that by using the binary system, the principles of arithmetic and logic could be joined.

Mixed-signal integrated circuit

A mixed-signal integrated circuit is any integrated circuit that has both analog circuits and digital circuits on a single semiconductor die. Their usage has grown dramatically with the increased use of cell phones, telecommunications, portable electronics, and automobiles with electronics and digital sensors. Integrated circuits (ICs) are generally classified as digital (e.g. a microprocessor) or analog (e.g. an operational amplifier). Mixed-signal ICs contain both digital and analog circuitry on the same chip, and sometimes embedded software.

Noise (electronics)

In electronics, noise is an unwanted disturbance in an electrical signal. Noise generated by electronic devices varies greatly as it is produced by several different effects. In particular, noise is inherent in physics and central to thermodynamics. Any conductor with electrical resistance will generate thermal noise inherently. The final elimination of thermal noise in electronics can only be achieved cryogenically, and even then quantum noise would remain inherent. Electronic noise is a common component of noise in signal processing.
