Performance Efficient Alu using Finfet

Abstract

According to the prophecy of Moore, the concentration of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles every two years. But this is limited by the technologies used in the fabrication of integrated circuits, as the systems are scaled down. FinFET technology aims to combat this challenge. The construction of power efficient high speed Arithmetic & Logical Unit (ALU) using FinFET technology is proposed in this paper. Proposed FinFET based ALU is designed with arithmetic functions like high speed addition, multiplication and logical functions such as AND and XOR. Simulation results of the proposed power efficient high speed FinFET ALU proves to be better with a power saving of 80.5%. FinFET has the advantage of providing low power without compromising on the Performance. The power analysis for ALU is done using CADENCE-VIRTUOSO, which is known for its accuracy.
