This paper describes an I/O scheme for use in a highspeed bus which eliminates setup and hold time requirements between clock and data by using an oversampling method. The I/O circuit uses a low jitter phase-locked loop (PLL) which suppresses the ef
Abstract—Domino circuits are widely used in high-performance CMOS microprocessors. However, textbook domino pipelines suffer significant timing overhead from clock skew, latch delay, and the inability to borrow time. To eliminate this overhead, some
Specifically, this book deals in depth with the following issues: • A methodology for simultaneous non-zero clock skew scheduling and design of the topology of the clock distribution network. This methodology is based on the pioneering works of Frie
