초록

A 16-bit adiabatic low-power Micro-processor core is designed. The processor consists of control block, multi-port register file and ALU. A simplified four-phase clock generator is designed to provide supply clocks for adiabatic processor. All the clock line charge on the capacitive interconnections is recovered to recycle the energy. Adiabatic circuits are designed based on ECRL(efficient charge recovery logic) and $0.35\mu\textrm$ CMOS technology is used. Simulation results show that the power consumption of the adiabatic Microprocessor core is reduced by a factor of 2.9~3.1 compared to that of conventional CMOS Microprocessor
