ABSTRACT:
A new design methodology which utilizes a module-based architecture is used to implement customized VLSI designs. In accordance with this invention, the module-based architecture comprises a number of Matrix Transistor Logic (MTL) modules. Each MTL module has a control input buffer section, an output stage section, and a matrix array section. The matrix array section implements logic functions using Pass Transistor Logic technology. Three variables, each of which place a different constraint on the MTL modules, are used in an automated design procedure to implement the MTL modules.
