Crosstalk at the Dynamic Node of Domino CMOS Circuits

- The need for faster circuits in smaller area with lower power dissipation has made it a common practice to use the domino CMOS in high performance integrated circuits. However this improved performance comes at the cost of lower noise immunity. Also current trends in integrated circuit technology have increased chances of crosstalk due to capacitive coupling. Though several works have investigated the problem of crosstalk at the inputs of domino circuits, crosstalk at the dynamic node of the domino circuits has been ignored. A model for crosstalk at the dynamic node is developed and verified in this paper. Application of this model can ensure immunity of domino circuits from crosstalk failures.
