Abstract

In this paper we discuss timing details and performance of the ultra low voltage (ULV) logic style [3]. The ULV logic gates can be utilized to design high speed systems operating at ultra low supply voltages. By imposing offsets to semi-floating-gate nodes the current level may be increased while maintaining a very low supply voltage. The offsets voltages are used to shift the effective threshold voltage of the evaluating transistors. The simulated data presented is obtained using the Spectre simulator provided by Cadence and valid for a 90nm CMOS process.
