Abstract
This paper describes novel bootstrapped CMOS differential logic family operating at near-Vth supply voltage. The proposed logic family provides improved switching speed by utilizing voltage bootstrapping for the supply voltage approaching device thresholds. The circuit is configured as differential structure having single bootstrapping capacitor, minimizing area overhead and providing complete logic composition capability. A 64-bit adder designed using the proposed technique in a 0.18um CMOS process provides up to 79% improvement in terms of power-delay product as compared to the conventional adder designed with DCVS.
