Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of clock network, is a kind of domino circuit clock network based on 3D structure integrated circuit specifically, belongs to the integrated circuit application.
Background technology
The good characteristic that domino circuit is fast with its speed, area is little is widely used in the critical path part and memory of processor, is the dynamic logic circuit of the main flow of high-performance processor and memory.The domino circuit of standard is an important branch of cmos circuit, and it is that the static inverter of output constitutes on the dynamic logic piece string that is made of one group of NMOS pipe, as shown in Figure 1.The operation principle of circuit is as follows: when clock signal CLK=0, be the preliminary filling stage of circuit, this moment, preliminary filling PMOS pipe P1 was in conducting state, dynamic node by preliminary filling to high level V
Dd, the static inverter of the output that is connected in series with it is output as low level; When CLK=1, evaluate phase for circuit, at this moment P1 ends, the input signal that dynamic node is looked NMOS pulldown network (PDN) discharges conditionally: if there is the DC channel from the dynamic node to ground in NMOS pipe logical block, dynamic node is discharged to low level over the ground so, and output rises to high level; Otherwise dynamic node will keep high value V by means of holding tube P2
Dd, up to following one-period.
In the domino circuit design, domino doors at different levels exist and postpone, and in order to guarantee the correctness of logic, use rearmounted clock technology usually, make the preliminary filling and the evaluation clock of domino circuit by the rearmounted clock trees of using self-timing.Rearmounted clock is always set up the back in the data input of domino door and is arrived, thereby has guaranteed the correctness of logic.Rearmounted clock domino circuit not only can provide the output signal of paraphase and noninvert, and rearmounted clock can reduce power consumption and noise at preliminary filling stage domino circuit.
As shown in Figure 2, each rearmounted clock domino door comprises a domino unit and a delay cell in the domino circuit.The delay cell of clock has determined the cut-in time of next door, and like this, the time of delay of delay cell is always greater than the poorest time of delay of domino door.Each grade goalkeeper adopts clock signal separately in the rearmounted clock domino circuit.These clock signals will be propagated as ripple in module together along with data computation.Like this, the clock of half is used for domino door preliminary filling, and second half clock is used for the evaluation of door.Therefore, delay cell is always in critical path, and it has stoped by the input signal of non-unidirectional saltus step and changes the disturbance of caused data in domino door evaluate phase.
Four parts that corresponding domino circuit has been mated in the delay of delay cell postpone: the fan-out load delay and the surplus of the inherent delay of door, the wire delay of output node, door.Wherein inherent delay is the delay during the poorest pulldown network evaluation of respective doors, the introducing of surplus is used to mate between settling time of place door and delay cell and the next stage door difference of aborning technology, voltage and temperature, and because the difference of the delay of output line, fan-out load and the parasitogenic signal that is coupled.
So the clock network of traditional domino circuit, owing to used rearmounted clock technology, thus introduced extra delay cell, increased the complexity of circuit design, and delay cell itself has increased chip area, has consumed extra power consumption, has influenced the combination property of domino circuit.

The domino circuit of standard comprises the input signal end, output signal end, and clock signal terminal, the preliminary filling pipe, holding tube, the clock pipe is exported static inverter and pulldown network.In the domino circuit, the substrate of all PMOS pipes connects supply voltage, the substrate earthed voltage of all NMOS pipes.
The clock signal terminal of standard domino circuit links to each other with the clock network of 3D domino integrated circuit, one end of silicon through hole connects the clock end of the domino circuit of upper level, the other end of silicon through hole connects the clock end of the domino circuit of next stage, silicon through hole itself has been realized back time-delay clock technology as delay cell.So clock end cascade each grade of domino circuit together is certain for different wafer layers, clock is interconnected at together by the silicon through hole.
In addition, in the clock network of above-mentioned 3D domino integrated circuit, indivedual nodes can add driver, to increase the driving force of clock network, like this clock signal when propagating also by shaping, this makes clock waveform can not decay in any logic, thereby has guaranteed correct operation, but this can increase the power consumption and the chip area of circuit.
