Prioritized Prime Implicant Patterns Puzzle for Novel Logic Synthesis and Optimization

Compare CMOS Logic with Pass-Transistor Logic, a question was raised in our mind: "Does any rule exist that contains all good?" This paper reveals novel logic synthesis and optimization procedures for full swing arbitrary logic function. The novel procedures are called Prioritized Prime Implicant Patterns Puzzle (PPIPP). Following the proposed procedures, we can get a new hybrid high performance logic circuit family, which has low power consumption, low power-delay product, area efficiency and suitable for low supply voltage. It has full swing signal in all nodes and high robustness against transistor downsizing and voltage scaling. Index Term ? Low power design, full-swing logic, hybrid logic, prime implicant, VLSI design.
