P enable Figure 6-18: CMOS Thyristor showing Parasitic Capacitances Also mismatches between the current sources Ictrl and Ictrl` can cause the delays between the rising edge to be different from the falling edge. As the delay element used for timing the SuperCISC reconfigurable hardware fabric does not use a delay on the falling edge of the signal, this effect is not pertinent to the application in hand. An architecture modified to solve the above issues has been proposed by [18]. The schematic of the modified CMOS thyristor delay element is shown in Figure 6-19. The signals Qcharge and Q~charge are used to cancel the charge sharing effect. Qcharge is generated by the NAND of inputs D and Nenable. Q~charge is generated by the NAND of inputs Dbar and PEN. The prime motive in having signal Q~charge is to enable the PMOS transistor that can be used to replenish the charge on node Q~ when PEN gets enabled. The signal Q~ charge needs to be asserted low only as long as the D input is low. Hence, a NAND of inputs PEN and Dbar accomplishes this purpose. Similarly Qcharge gets activated to replenish the charge on node Q when NEN gets enabled. As the Qcharge and Q~charge are driving the gates of PMOS 100 N eable
transistors, they are active low signals. Figure 6-20 below shows the timing diagram of the modified CMOS thyristor based delay element. Figure 6-19: CMOS Modified Thyristor Delay Element 101
