We present more evidence in a 0.25 μm CMOS technology that the pass-transistor logic (PTL) structure that mixes conventional PTL structure with static logic gates can achieve better performance and lower power consumption compared to conventional PTL structure. The goal is to use the static gates to perform both logic functions as well as buffering. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed mixed PTL structure beats pure static structure and conventional PTL in 9 out of 15 test cases for either delay or power consumption or both in a 0.25 μm CMOS process. The average delay, power consumption, and power-delay product of the proposed structure for 15 test cases are 10% to 20% better of than the pure static implementations and up to 50% better than the conventional PTL implementations.

This paper describes the design of a high speed min/max architecture based on a new current comparator. The main advantage of the proposed circuit which employs a novel preamplifier-latch comparator is the higher operating frequency feature in comparison with previous works. Because the comparator can work in voltage mode, the min/max structure can be redesigned either in voltage or current mode. The designed comparator is refreshed without any external clock. Therefore, it does not degrade the speed performance of proposed min/max structure. These features along with low power consumption qualify the proposed architecture to be widely used in high speed fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs). Post-layout simulation results confirm 3.4 GS/s comparison rate with 9-bit resolution for a 0.9 V peak-to-peak input signal range for the comparator and 800 MHz operating frequency for min/max circuit. The power consumption of whole structure is 912 μW from a 1.8 V power supply using TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS technology.

In the recent digital designs, there are certain circumstances where energy efficiency and ease is required, and in such situations, ternary logic (or three-valued logic) is favored. Ternary logic is an auspicious supernumerary to the conventional binary (0, 1) logic design techniques as this one is possible to attain straightforwardness and energy efficiency. This chapter deals with the comparative analysis of CMOS and CNTFET-based ternary inverter and universal gates design. The simulation result is analyzed and validated with a Hailey simulation program with integrated circuit (HSPICE) simulations. The average delay and power consumption in CNTFET-based ternary inverter have been reduced by approximately 90.3% and 48.8% respectively, as compared to CMOS-based ternary inverter design. Likewise, delay is reduced by 50% and power gets 99% reduction in ternary CNTFET NAND gate as compared to CMOS-based ternary NAND gat. It is concluded that CNFETs are faster and consume less power compared to CMOS technology.

Background: The advent of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications and big data applications has made it imparitive to develop hardware that can match the computing demands. In such high performance systems, the high speed multipliers are the most sought after components. A compressor is an important part of the multiplier; it plays a vital role in the performance of multiplier, also it contributes to the efficiency enhancement of an arithmetic circuit. The 5:2 compressor circuit design proposed here improves overall performance and efficiency of the arithmetic circuits in terms of power consumption, delay and power delay product. The proposed 5:2 compressor circuit was implemented using both CMOS and Carbon Nano Tube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) technologies and it was observed that the proposed circuit has yielded better results with CNTFETs as compared to MOSFETs. Methods/Results: The proposed 5:2 compressor circuit was designed with CMOS technology simulated at 45 nm with voltage supply 1.0 V and compared it with the existing 5:2 compressor designes to validate the improvements. Thereafter, the proposed design was implemented with CNTFET technology at 32 nm and simulated with voltage supply 0.6 V. The comparision results of proposed 5:2 compressor with existing designs implemented using CMOS. The results also compare the proposed design on CMOS and CNTFET technologies for parameters like power, delay, power delay product. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the proposed 5:2 compressor gives better results as compared to the existing 5:2 compressor designs implemeted using CMOS. The improvement in power, delay and power delay product is approx 30%, 15% and 40% respectively. The proposed circuit of 5:2 compressor is also implemented using CNTFET technology and compared, which further enhances the results by 30% (power consumption and PDP). Hence, the proposed circuit implemented using CNTFET gives substantial improvements over the existing circuits.

A low power 12-bit, 20 MS/s asynchronously controlled successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to be used in wireless access for vehicular environment (WAVE) intelligent transportation system (ITS) sensor based application is presented in this paper. To optimize the architecture with respect to power consumption and performance, several techniques are proposed. A switching method which employs the common mode charge recovery (CMCR) switching process is presented for capacitive digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) part to lower the switching energy. The switching technique proposed in our work consumes 56.3% less energy in comparison with conventional CMCR switching method. For high speed operation with low power consumption and to overcome the kick back issue in the comparator part, a mutated dynamic-latch comparator with cascode is implemented. In addition, to optimize the flexibility relating to the performance of logic part, an asynchronous topology is employed. The structure is fabricated in 65 nm CMOS process technology with an active area of 0.14 mm2. With a sampling frequency of 20 MS/s, the proposed architecture attains signal-to-noise distortion ratio (SNDR) of 65.44 dB at Nyquist frequency while consuming only 472.2 µW with 1 V power supply.

This paper explores the deterministic transistor reordering in low-voltage dynamic BiCMOS logic gates, for reducing the dynamic power dissipation. The constraints of load driving (discharging) capability and NPN turn-on delay for MOSFET reordered structures has been carefully considered. Simulations shows significant reduction in the dynamic power dissipation for the transistor reordered BiCMOS structures. The power-delay product figure-of-merit is found to be significantly enhanced without any associated silicon-area penalty. In order to experimentally verify the reduction in power dissipation, original and reordered structures were fabricated using the MOSIS 2 μm N-well analog CMOS process which has a P-base layer for bipolar NPN option. Measured results shows a 20% reduction in the power dissipation for the transistor reordered structure, which is in close agreement with the simulation.

The main aim of our work is to achieve low power, high speed design goals. The proposed hybrid adder is designed to meet the requirements of high output swing and minimum power. Performance of hybrid FA in terms of delay, power, and driving capability is largely dependent on the performance of XOR-XNOR circuit. In hybrid FAs maximum power is consumed by XOR-XNOR circuit. In this paper 10T XOR-XNOR is proposed, which provide good driving capabilities and full swing output simultaneously without using any external inverter. The performance of the proposed circuit is measured by simulating it in cadence virtuoso environment using 90-nm CMOS technology. This circuit outperforms its counterparts showing power delay product is reduced than that of available XOR-XNOR modules. Four different full adder designs are proposed utilizing 10T XOR-XNOR, sum and carry modules. The proposed FAs provide improvement in terms of PDP than that of other architectures. To evaluate the performance of proposed full adder circuit, we embedded it in a 4-bit and 8-bit cascaded full adder. Among all FAs two of the proposed FAs provide the best performance for a higher number of bits.


VLSI technology become one of the most significant and demandable because of the characteristics like device portability, device size, large amount of features, expenditure, consistency, rapidity and many others. Multipliers and Adders place an important role in various digital systems such as computers, process controllers and signal processors in order to achieve high speed and low power. Two input XOR/XNOR gate and 2:1 multiplexer modules are used to design the Hybrid Full adders. The XOR/XNOR gate is the key punter of power included in the Full adder cell. However this circuit increases the delay, area and critical path delay. Hence, the optimum design of the XOR/XNOR is required to reduce the power consumption of the Full adder Cell. So a 6 New Hybrid Full adder circuits are proposed based on the Novel Full-Swing XOR/XNOR gates and a New Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) design of Full adder with high-swing outputs. The speed, power consumption, power delay product and driving capability are the merits of the each proposed circuits. This circuit simulation was carried used cadence virtuoso EDA tool. The simulation results based on the 90nm CMOS process technology model.

ABSTRACTThis paper reports a novel low power, fast nonvolatile memory utilizing high frequency phonons, atomic force dual quantum wells, ferromagnetism, coupled magnetic dipoles and random accessed magnetic devices. Very high-speed memories, such as SRAM and DRAM, are mostly volatile (data are lost when power is off). Nonvolatile memories, including FLASH and MRAM, are typically not as fast has DRAM or SRAM, and the voltages for WRITE/ERASE operations are relatively high. This paper describes a silicon nonvolatile memory that is compatible with advanced sub-7nm CMOS process. It consists of only one transistor (MOSFET) – small size, and more cost effective, compared with a 6-Transistor SRAM. There is no need to refresh, as required by DRAM. The access time can be less than 1ns – close to the speed level of relaxation time - much faster than traditional FLASH memories and comparable to volatile DRAM. The operating voltages for all memory functions can be as low as high speed CMOS.
