A high speed, low power, swing restored pass-transistor logic based multiply and accumulate circuit for multimedia applications

Swing Restored Pass-transistor Logic (SRPL), a high speed, low power logic circuit technique for VLSI applications is described. By the use of a pass-transistor network to perform logic evaluation, and a latch type swing restoring circuit to drive gate outputs, this technique renders highly competitive circuit performance. An SRPL based multiply and accumulate circuit for multimedia applications is implemented in double metal 0.4 /spl mu/m CMOS technology.<<ETX>>
