I like to find out what are the pros and cons of using wired logic (Wired-AND/OR) in vlsi design. Wired-logic can save a lot of logic gates, but I know it will also consume a larger amount of power, introduce more capacitance, need time to settle, etc. etc. It seems to me that it is not widely used in VLSI design. Is this true? I can't find any thorough discussion in the literature about wired logic in VLSI (I read an article on IEEE 893 FutureBus which uses wired logic, but the discussion is not for VLSI). I like to hear from people who have experience with wired-logic or know some references. I am interested in both nMOS and cMOS. - Dik Lee Dept.
