METHOD OF DESIGNING A CMOS LOGIC CIRCUIT

摘要

PURPOSE: A design method of a CMOS logic circuit is provided to accelerate the operating speed of the CMOS logic circuit that suppress leakage current. CONSTITUTION: A standby circuit(3) is inserted between a first logic circuit(1) and a second logic circuit(2). The standby circuit(3) inverts an output signal of the first logic circuit(1) and inputs the inverted signal to the second logic circuit(2). Also, the circuit(3) converts the constitution of transistors(TRs) in a cell in the first logic circuit(1) or the second logic circuit(2) effectively suppresses a leakage current in the standby state and contributes to the design of the CMOS logic circuit that operates at a high speed.
