With rapid technology scaling, the proportion of the leakage power catches up with dynamic power gradually. The leakage dissipation through the gate oxide is becoming an important component of power consumption in currently used nanometer CMOS processes without metal gate structure. This paper presents adiabatic sequential circuits using P-type complementary pass-transistor adiabatic logic circuit (P-CPAL) to reduce the gate-leakage power dissipations. A practical sequential system with a mode-10 counter is demonstrated using the P-CPAL scheme. All circuits are simulated using HSPICE under 65nm and 90nm CMOS processes. Simulations show that the mode-10 counter using P-CPAL circuits obtains significant improvement in terms of power consumption over the traditional N-type CPAL counterparts.

With the decrease of the power supply voltage, the thickness of the gate oxide has been also scaled down in CMOS technologies using gate oxide materials. The leakage dissipation through the gate oxide is becoming an important component of power consumption in currently used nanometer CMOS processes without metal gate structure. Base on the fact that PMOS transistors have an order of magnitude smaller gate leakage than NMOS ones, this paper propose a P-type efficient charge recovery logic (P-ECRL) to reduce leakage dissipations in nanometer CMOS processes with gate oxide materials. For an example, a J-K flip-flop and a mode-10 counter using four-phase P-ECRL circuits are verified. All circuits are simulated using 90nm and 45nm CMOS processes with gate oxide materials. The proposed P-ECRL circuits show significant improvement in terms of power consumption over the traditional N-type ECRL counterparts.

Leakage power reduction is extremely important in the design of nano-circuits. Gate leakage has become a significant component in currently used nanometer CMOS processes with gate oxide structure. The structure and operation of the PAL-2P (pass-transistor adiabatic logic with PMOS pull-up configuration) circuits that consist mostly of PMOS transistors are complementary to PAL-2N (pass-transistor adiabatic logic with NMOS pull-down configuration) ones that consist mostly of NMOS transistors. This paper investigates gate leakage reduction of the PAL-2P circuits in nanometer CMOS processes with gate oxide materials. An s27 benchmark circuit from the ISCAS89 sequential benchmark set is verified using the PAL-2P scheme. All circuits are simulated with HSPICE using the 65nm CMOS process with gate oxide materials. Based on the power dissipation models of PAL-2P adiabatic circuits, active leakage dissipations are estimated by testing total leakage dissipations using SPICE simulations. The PAL-2P circuits consume low static power compared with traditional PAL-2N ones.

In deep sub-micro CMOS process, the leakage power is becoming a significant proportion in power dissipation. Hence, estimating the leakage power of CMOS circuits is very important in low-power design. In this paper, an estimation technology for the total leakage power of adiabatic logic circuits by using SPICE is proposed. The basic principle of power estimation for traditional CMOS circuits using SPICE is introduced. According to the energy dissipation characteristic of adiabatic circuits, the estimation technology for leakage power is discussed. Taken as an example, the estimation for total leakage power dissipations of PAL-2N (pass-transistor adiabatic logic with NMOS pull-down configuration) circuits is illustrated using the proposed estimation technology.

With rapid technology scaling down, the energy dissipation of nanometer CMOS circuits is becoming a major concern, because of the increasing sub-threshold leakage in nanometer CMOS processes. This paper introduces a dual threshold CMOS (DTCMOS) technique for CPAL (complementary pass-transistor adiabatic logic) circuits to reduce sub-threshold leakage dissipations. The method to size the transistors of the dual-threshold CPAL gates is also discussed. A full adder using dual-threshold CPAL circuits is realized using 45nm BSIM4 CMOS model. HSPICE simulation results show that leakage dissipations of the CPAL full adder with DTCMOS techniques are reduced compared with the basic CPAL one.

Leakage current is becoming a significant contributor to power dissipations in nanometer CMOS circuits due to the scaling of oxide thickness. This paper proposes a new P-type clocked adiabatic logic (P-CAL) to reduce gate leakage based on the fact that PMOS transistors have an order of magnitude smaller gate leakage than NMOS ones in nanometer CMOS processes using gate oxide materials. Based on the power dissipation models of adiabatic circuits, the estimation technology for the active leakage dissipations of P-CAL circuits is proposed. The active leakage dissipations are estimated by testing total leakage dissipations with additional load capacitances using SPICE simulations. Compared to N-type clocked adiabatic logic (N-CAL) circuits, the total power and leakage power dissipation of P-type CAL circuits are reduced greatly.

With rapid technology scaling, the leakage dissipation that begins to replace dynamitic dissipation is becoming a major source in CMOS circuits because of the increasing sub-threshold leakage current in nanometer CMOS processes. This paper introduces a MTCMOS power-gating technique, which is used for an adiabatic register file based on improved CAL (Clocked Adiabatic Logic) to reduce leakage dissipation in sleep mode. A 32 X 32 single-phase adiabatic register file are verified using HSPICE in different processes, threshold voltage, and active ratios, and BSIM4 model is adopted to reflect the leakage currents. Simulation results show that leakage losses are greatly reduced.

The leakage dissipations of nano-circuits have become a critical concern. Estimating the leakage power of nano-circuits is very important in low-power design. This paper presents a new estimation technology for the active leakage dissipations of adiabatic logic circuits. Based on the power dissipation models of adiabatic circuits, active leakage dissipations are estimated by testing total leakage dissipations with additional capacitances on load nodes of the adiabatic circuits using HSPICE simulations. Taken as an example, the estimation for dynamic and active leakage power dissipations of CPAL (Complementary Pass-transistor Adiabatic Logic) circuits is demonstrated using the proposed estimation technology. The simulation results show that the proposed estimation technology can accurately estimate the active leakage dissipations of CPAL circuits with an accepted error over a wide range of frequencies.

The near-threshold adiabatic flip-flops and sequential circuits are realized with improved CAL (Clocked Adiabatic Logic) circuits using a single-phase power clock. An auxiliary clock generator is used to obtain the non-overlap sinusoidal auxiliary signal pair. A near-threshold mode-10 counter is implemented. All circuits are simulated using Predictive Technology Model (PTM) 45nm process. The near-threshold adiabatic circuits attain large energy savings over a wide range of frequencies, as compared with conventional static CMOS logic circuits.

The smart Internet of Things (IoT) network relies heavily on data transmission over wireless channels. Hence, it should be designed to be robust against the attacks from hackers and antagonists. The confidentiality in IoT devices is directly proportional to the complexity and power consumption. To mitigate these issues, this paper proposes a secure Substitution Box (S-Box) design that is exploited in the IoT for cyber security applications. The S-Box is based on Gated Hybrid Energy Recovery Logic (GHERL) that is an amalgamation of two different techniques as adiabatic logic and power gating. Adiabatic logic is preferred to attain high energy efficiency in practical applications such as portable and handheld devices. Power gating technique is preferred to reduce the leakage power and energy consumption. The proposed GHERL XOR gate and S-Box are implemented with 125nm technology in Tanner EDA tool. The consequences of the experiments exhibits that the novel S-Box design with GHERL XOR decreases the power consumption by 1.76%, 35.26%, 36.81%, 41.01% and reduces the leakage power by 58.54%, 20.27%, 27.38%, 13.63% when compared with the existing techniques such as S-Box with sleep transistor, dual sleep transistor, dual-stack and sleepy keeper approach.
