Abstract

In this paper we compare the charging of relatively large capacitorsusing two adiabatic charging techniques and an abrupt charging viaa conventional CMOS buffer. The considered capacitors can be foundin long interconnections on chip as well as off chip. We introducetwo circuits, one using adiabatic charging through diodes and oneemploying fully adiabatic charging. We show that it can be worthwhileto use those circuits, as we can report an energy saving of up toone magnitude for a wide range of voltages, capacitances and
