Novel FDSOI-based Dynamic XNOR Logic for Ultra-Dense Highly-Efficient Computing

For the first time, we propose a novel circuit for dynamic 2-input XNOR gate that merely employs two n-type Fully-Depleted Silicon on Insulator (nFDSOI) FETs along with one additional precharging pFDSOI FET. Our design exploits the threshold voltage (Vt) tuning feature (i.e., 1ow-Vt and high-Vt states) of FDSOI FET using the back bias as one input. The front gate bias is used as a second input. The proposed novel XNOR design reduces the number of transistors and significantly reduces power, delay, and energy compared to state-of-the-art dynamic XNOR gates. To accurately evaluate the Figure of merits, the industrial transistor compact model has been carefully calibrated against industrial measurements. The analysis demonstrates that our novel XNOR gates exhibits 8 times improvement in the propagation delay and 17 times improvement in the power consumption compared to the state-of-the-art dynamic XNOR design. Additionally, we explore the critical role of the buried oxide (BOX) thickness on the performance of proposed XNOR design.
