QSERL: quasi-static energy recovery logic

A new quasi-static energy recovery logic family (QSERL) using the principle of adiabatic switching is proposed in this paper. Most of the previously proposed adiabatic logic styles are dynamic and require complex clocking schemes. The proposed QSERL uses two complementary sinusoidal supply clocks and resembles the behavior of static CMOS. Thus, switching activity is significantly lower than dynamic logic. In addition, QSERL circuits can be directly derived from static CMOS circuits. A high-efficiency clock generation circuitry, which generates two complementary sinusoidal clocks compatible to QSERL, is also presented in this paper. The adiabatic clock circuitry locks the frequency of clock signals, which makes it possible to integrate adiabatic modules into a VLSI system. We have designed an 8×8 carry-save multiplier using QSERL logic and two phase sinusoidal clocks. SPICE simulation shows that the QSERL multiplier can save 34% of energy over static CMOS multiplier at 100 MHz     

Design of a low-power 8 × 8-bit parallel multiplier using MOS current mode logic circuit

This paper proposes an 8?×?8 bit parallel multiplier using MOS current mode logic (MCML) for low power consumption. The 8?×?8 bit multiplier is designed with the proposed MCML full adders and the conventional full adders. The proposed multiplier is achieved to reduce the power consumption by 9.4% and the power-delay-product by 11.7% compared with the conventional circuit. The validity and effectiveness are verified through HSPICE simulation. The proposed multiplier is designed with the Samsung 0.35?μm standard CMOS process.     

A Low Power 16‐Bit RISC Microprocessor Using ECRL Circuits

This paper presents a low power 16‐bit adiabatic reduced instruction set computer (RISC) microprocessor with efficient charge recovery logic (ECRL) registers. The processor consists of registers, a control block, a register file, a program counter, and an arithmetic and logical unit (ALU). Adiabatic circuits based on ECRL are designed using a 0.35 µm CMOS technology. An adiabatic latch based on ECRL is proposed for signal interfaces for the first time, and an efficient four‐phase supply clock generator is designed to provide power for the adiabatic processor. A static CMOS processor with the same architecture is designed to compare the energy consumption of adiabatic and non‐adiabatic microprocessors. Simulation results show that the power consumption of the adiabatic microprocessor is about 1/3 compared to that of the static CMOS microprocessor.     

Skewed CMOS: noise-tolerant high-performance low-power static circuit family

In this paper, we present a noise-tolerant high-performance static circuit family suitable for low-voltage operation called skewed logic. Skewed logic circuits in comparison with Domino logic have better scalability and are more suitable for low voltage applications because of better noise margins. Skewed logic and its variations have been compared with Domino logic in terms of delay, power, and dynamic noise margin. A design methodology for skewed CMOS pipelined circuits has been developed. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed logic style, 0.35 /spl mu/m 5.56 ns CMOS 16/spl times/16 bit multipliers have been designed using skewed logic circuits and fabricated through MOSIS. Measurement results show that the multiplier only consumed a power of 195 mW due to its low clock load.     

Analysis and Design of an Efficient Irreversible Energy Recovery Logic in 0.18-$mu$m CMOS

This paper presents the design and experimental evaluation of a new type of irreversible energy recovery logic (ERL) families called complementary energy path adiabatic logic (CEPAL). It inherits the advantages of quasi-static ERL (QSERL) family, but is with improved driving ability and circuit robustness. The proposed logic style features no hold phase compared to its QSERL counterpart under the same operation conditions; thereupon no feedback keeper is required so that considerable improvements in area and power overheads can be achieved. Moreover, its throughput becomes twice as high as that of QSERL when their frequencies of power clocks (PCs) are identical. Results on the impact of variation on CEPAL are provided. Comparison between CEPAL and other known low-power logic style achieving iso-performance, namely, subthreshold logic is also given. In order to demonstrate workability of the newly developed circuit, an 8-bit shift register, designed in the proposed techniques, has been fabricated in a TSMC 0.18- $mu$m CMOS process. Both simulation and measurement results verify the functionality of such a logic, making it suitable for implementing energy-aware and performance-efficient very-large scale integration (VLSI) circuitry.      

Adiabatic pseudo-domino logic

A new logic structure, adiabatic pseudo-domino logic (APDL), which is the combination of adiabatic theory and CMOS domino logic is described.

A 16-bit carry-lookahead adder using reversible energy recoverylogic for ultra-low-energy systems

In this paper, we describe an energy-efficient carry-lookahead adder using reversible energy recovery logic (RERL), which is a new dual-rail reversible adiabatic logic. We also describe an eight-phase, clocked power generator that requires an off-chip inductor. For the energy-efficient design of reversible logic, we explain how to control the overhead of reversibility with a self-energy-recovery circuit. A test chip was implemented with a 0.8 μm CMOS technology, which included two 16-bit carry-lookahead adders to allow fair comparison: an RERL one and a static CMOS one. Experimental results showed that the RERL adder had substantial advantages in energy consumption over the static CMOS one at low operating frequencies. We also confirmed that we could minimize the energy consumption in the RERL circuit by reducing the operating frequency until adiabatic and leakage losses were equal     

Double-precision Dual Mode Logic carry-save multiplier

In this paper, a double-precision carry-save adder (CSA)-based array multiplier is designed using the Dual Mode Logic (DML) approach in a commercial 65-nm low-power CMOS technology. DML typically allows on-the-fly controllable switching at the gate level between static and dynamic operation modes. The proposed multiplier exploits this unique ability of DML to efficiently trade performance and energy consumption when considering on-demand double-precision (8 × 8-bit or 16 × 16-bit) operations. This occurs in the DML multiplier working in a mixed operation mode, i.e., by employing the static and dynamic mode for lower and higher precision operations, respectively. In fact, the use of the dynamic mode for higher precision operations ensures higher performance as compared to the standard CMOS circuit (16% gain on average) at the cost of higher energy consumption. Such energy penalty is counterbalanced at lower precision operations where the static mode is enabled in the DML circuit. Overall, the adoption of the mixed operation mode in the proposed DML multiplier proves to be beneficial to achieve a better performance/energy trade-off with respect to the standard CMOS implementation and to the case when using either the static or the dynamic mode for both operations at the two different precisions. When compared to its CMOS counterpart, our DML design operating in the mixed mode exhibits an average improvement of 15% in terms of energy-delay product (EDP) under wide-range supply voltage scaling. Such benefit is maintained over process-voltage-temperature (PVT) variations.
