Otherwise, the output will become high Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab. Jin-Fu Li, EE, NCU 19

28 Time Borrowing In a flop-based system: ata launches on one rising edge Must setup before next rising edge If it arrives late, system fails If it arrives early, time is wasted Flops have hard edges In a latch-based system ata can pass through latch while transparent Long cycle of logic can borrow time into next As long as each loop completes in one cycle Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab. Jin-Fu Li, EE, NCU 28

29 Time Borrowing Example (a) Latch Combinational Logic Latch Combinational Logic Latch Borrowing time across half-cycle boundary Borrowing time across pipeline stage boundary 1 2 (b) Latch Combinational Logic Latch Combinational Logic Loops may borrow time internally but must complete within the cycle Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab.

31 Clock Skew We have assumed zero clock skew Clocks really have uncertainty in arrival time ecreases maximum propagation delay Increases minimum contamination delay ecreases time borrowing Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab. Jin-Fu Li, EE, NCU 31

34 Two-Phase Clocking If setup times are violated, reduce clock speed If hold times are violated, chip fails at any speed In this class, working chips are most important No tools to analyze clock skew An easy way to guarantee hold times is to use 2-phase latches with big nonoverlap times Call these clocks 1, 2 (ph1, ph2) Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab. Jin-Fu Li, EE, NCU 34

35 Safe Flip-Flop In class, use flip-flop with nonoverlapping clocks Very slow nonoverlap adds to setup time But no hold times In industry, use a better timing analyzer Add buffers to slow signals if hold time is at risk X Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab. Jin-Fu Li, EE, NCU 35

36 Clock istribution In a large CMOS chip, clock distribution is a serious problem For example, V dd =5V C reg =2000pF (20K register 0.1pF) T =10ns T rise/fall =1ns I peak =C(dv/dt)=(2000p)x(5/1n)=10A P d =C(V dd ) 2 f=2000px25x100=5w Methods for reducing the values of I peak and P d Reduce C Interleaving the rise/fall time Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab. Jin-Fu Li, EE, NCU 36

37 Clock istribution Clocking is a floorplanning problem because clock delay varies with position on the chip Ways to improve clock distribution Physical design Make clock delays more even At least more predictable Circuit design Minimizing delays using several stages of drivers Two most common types of physical clocking networks H-tree clock distribution Balanced-tree clock distribution Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab. Jin-Fu Li, EE, NCU 37

41 Reduce Clocking Power Techniques used to reduce the high dynamic power dissipation Use a low capacitance clock routing line such as metal3. This layer of metal can be, for example, dedicated to clock distribution only Using low-swing drivers at the top level of the tree or in intermediate levels Vdd C1 C2 p - p CA V out Gnd n C3 - n C4 CB Clock Advanced Reliable Systems (ARES) Lab.

3 Flip-Flops. The latch is a logic block that has 2 stable states (0) or (1). The RS latch can be forced to hold a 1 when the Set line is asserted. 3 Flip-Flops Flip-flops and latches are digital memory circuits that can remain in the state in which they were set even after the input signals have been removed. This means that the circuits have a memory
