This paper proposes a novel method to control leakage and noise in domino circuits for wide fan-in OR logic with low power consumption, low process variation, and higher noise margin under the similar delay condition. In the proposed method, output and dynamic nodes are isolated from the PDN (Pull-Down Network) to improve the noise immunity and reduce switching activity. Further, with the aid of a transistor in the stack, the sub-threshold current is reduced. Thus, the proposed domino is applicable for high-speed and low-power applications in deep sub-micro-range. Simulation results show that the proposed domino improves the noise immunity and figure of merit (FOM) by factors of 1.95 and 2.34, respectively, with respect to the conventional domino with a footer. Along with this improvement, 26% reduction is also observed in power consumption. The entire simulations for all the domino circuits are done at 45-nm CMOS technology by using SPECTRE simulator under the Cadence Virtuoso environment.

Noise immunity is the foremost issue in high-speed domino circuits. In general, better noise immunity is achieved at the cost of speed and power degradation. In this paper, pseudo-dynamic keeper design is proposed to reduce the delay and power with improved noise immunity for domino circuits. The proposed technique is able to achieve reduced delay, power consumption, and better noise immunity by using always ON keeper. The simulation results show that the proposed technique exhibits 41%, 39%, and 19% delay reduction when compared with the low power dynamic circuit for two-input OR gate, two-input EX-OR gate, and 4:1 multiplexer. The proposed logic also performs better as compared to a low power dynamic circuit with 24%, 21%, and 14% reduction in power-delay product for two-input OR gate, two-input EX-OR gate, and four input MUX, respectively. The unity noise gain is also improved as compared to all other existing methods.

: A Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) considers a linear function typically an XOR operation of the previous state as an input to the current state. This paper describes in detail the recent Wireless Communication Systems (WCS) and techniques related to LFSR. Cryptographic methods and reconfigurable computing are two different applications used in the proposed shift register with improved speed and decreased power consumption. Comparing with the existing individual applications, the proposed shift register obtained >15 to <=45% of decreased power consumption with 30% of reduced coverage area. Hence this proposed low power high speed LFSR design suits for various low power high speed applications, for example wireless communication. The entire design architecture is simulated and verified in VHDL language. To synthesis a standard cell library of 0.7um CMOS is used. A custom design tool has been developed for measuring the power. From the results, it is obtained that the cryptographic efficiency is improved regarding time and complexity comparing with the existing algorithms. Hence, the proposed LFSR architecture can be used for any wireless applications due to parallel processing, multiple access and cryptographic methods.
