This paper describes a new low-swing inverter for low power consumption. To reduce a power consumption, an output voltage swing is in the range from 0 to VDD-2VTH. This can be done by the inverter structure that allow a full swing or a swing on its input terminal without leakage current. Using this low-swing voltage technology, we proposed a low-power 16$\times$16 bit parallel multiplier. The proposed circuits are designed with Samsung 0.35$\mu$m standard CMOS process at a 3.3V supply voltage. The validity and effectiveness are verified through the HSPICE simulation.. Compared to the previous works, this circuit can reduce the power consumption rate of 17.3% and the power-delay product of 16.5%.

This paper proposes an 8${\times}$8 bit parallel multiplier using MOS current-mode logic (MCML) circuit for low power consumption. The proposed circuit has a structure of low-power MOS current-mode logic circuit with sleep-transistor to reduce the leakage current. The sleep-transistor is used to PMOS transistor to minimize the leakage current. Comparing with the conventional MOS current-model logic circuit, the circuit achieves the reduction of the power consumption in sleep mode by 1/50. The designed multiplier is achieved to reduce the power consumption by 10.5% and the power-delay-product by 11.6% compared with the conventional MOS current-model logic circuit. This circuit is designed with Samsung 0.35 ${\mu}m$ standard CMOS process. The validity and effectiveness are verified through the HSPICE simulation.

Conventional synchronous design circuits cannot only satisfy the timing requirement of the low voltage digital systems, but also they may generate wrong outputs under the influence of PVT variations and aging effects. Therefore, in this paper, a NCL (Null Convention Logic) design as an asynchronous design method has been proposed, where the NCL method doesn't require any timing analysis, and it has a very simple design methodology. Base on the NCL method, a new low power reliable ALU has been designed and implemented using MagnaChip-SKhynix 0.18um CMOS technology. The experimental results of the proposed NCL ALU have been compared to those of a conventional pipelined ALU in terms of power consumption and speed.

A 16-bit adiabatic low-power Microprocessor is designed. The processor consists of control block, multi-port register file, program counter, and ALU. An efficient four-phase clock generator is also designed to provide power clocks for adiabatic processor. Adiabatic circuits based on efficient charge recovery logic(ECRL), are designed 0.35,${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology. Conventional CMOS processor is also designed to compare the energy consumption of microprocessors. Simulation results show that the power consumption of the adiabatic microprocessor is reduced by a factor of 2.9∼3.1 compared to that of conventional CMOS microprocessor.

본 논문에서는 저전압 구동 인버터의 게이트 구동회로 설계 시, 밀러 캡 영향이 야기할 수 있는 암 단락 현상 방지를 위한 양전원 방식의 게이트 구동회로 설계를 제안한다. 제안하는 회로는 부트스트랩 방식의 0~15[V] 의 전원을 사용하고, 커패시터와 다이오드를 통하여 마이너스 전압을 생성하며 이를 통해 양전원으로 게이트를 구동한다. 이는 단 전원 방식에 비하여 밀러 캡의 영향을 줄일수 있고 이를 통해 스위칭 시 소자의 스트레스를 감소시키며 또한 암단락을 방지한다. 제안하는 회로를 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

This paper presents a low power digital PLL architecture and design for implementation of the PLL-based frequency synthesizers. In the proposed architecture, a wide band digital logic quadricorrelator is used for preliminary frequency detector and a narrow band digital logic quadricorrelator is used for final DCO control. Also, a circuit technique for reducing leakage current is adopted in order to minimize the standby mode power consumption of the deactivated block. The proposed digital PLL is designed and verified by MyCAD with MOSIS 1.8V $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, and the simulation results show that the power consumption can be lowered by more than 20%.
