Recent Development in Efficient Adiabatic Logic Circuits and Power Analysis with CMOS Logic

Abstract

Power consumption plays a major role in present day VLSI design technology. The demand for low power consuming devices is increasing rapidly and the adiabatic logic style is said to be an attractive solution. This paper investigates different methods for designing adiabatic logics such as CMOS adiabatic circuits, ECRL, PFAL, CAL, DFAL, 2N-2P and 2N-2N2P. A lot of research has been already done using adiabatic technique. This paper presents a review of above mentioned adiabatic inverters in literature from basic elements. The SPICE simulation results show the comparison of power dissipation between conventional CMOS circuits and adiabatic logic based circuits.
