  • Patent number: 6131182
    Abstract: A computer-based method automatically synthesizes, optimizes and compiles high performance control logic using SRCMOS LOGIC ARRAY MACROS, abbreviated as SLAMs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 2, 1997
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2000
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Michael Patrick Beakes, Barbara Alana Chappell, Terry Ivan Chappell, Gary S. Ditlow, Barry Lee Dorfman, Bruce Martin Fleischer, Vinod Narayanan, Robert Alan Philhower, George Anthony Sai Halasz, Ghavam Ghavami Shahidi, David James Widiger
  • Patent number: 6005416
    Abstract: A logic circuit family implements self-resetting CMOS logic array macros (SLAMs) which include a plurality of inputs to which a plurality of data input signals can be applied; a plurality of input buffers coupled to receive the input signals from the inputs; a NOR circuit coupled to receive the outputs of the input buffers and a pulsed logic timing signal synchronized within a predefined window with the arrival of the data input signals; an output buffer coupled to receive the output of the NOR circuit; and an output at which a data output signal is produced, with the output signal being a logical NOR of the data input signals; and with each of the NOR circuit, the plurality of input buffers, and the output buffer optionally having a separate reset input to reset it to a standby state. The SLAMs address the very high pressure on the performance of both control logic and control logic design systems.
