본 논문에서는 ADCL(adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic) buffer를 이용한 단열 논리회로용 AC 전원과 동기화된 저전력 클럭 발생기를 제안한다. CMOS 논리회로의 전력 손실을 줄이고 ADCL의 저전력 동작을 위해서, 논리회로의 clock 신호는 AC 전원 신호와 동기화 되어야 한다. 설계된 Schmitt trigger 회로와 ADCL buffer를 사용한 ADCL 주파수 분주기를 이용하여 AC 신호와 단열동작을 위한 clock 신호가 발생된다. 제안된 저전력 클럭 발생기의 소비전력은 3kHz와 10MHz에서 각각 1.181uW와 37.42uW으로 시뮬레이션에서 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a two-phase clocked adiabatic static CMOS logic (2PASCL) circuit that utilizes the principles of adiabatic switching and energy recovery. The low-power 2PASCL circuit uses two complementary split-level sinusoidal power supply clocks whose height is equal to $V_{dd}$. It can be directly derived from static CMOS circuits. By removing the diode from the charging path, higher output amplitude is achieved and the power consumption of the diode is eliminated. 2PASCL has switching activity that is lower than dynamic logic. We also design and simulate NOT, NAND, NOR, and XOR logic gates on the basis of the 2PASCL topology. From the simulation results, we find that 2PASCL 4-inverter chain logic can save up to 79% of dissipated energy as compared to that with a static CMOS logic at transition frequencies of 1 to 100 MHz. The results indicate that 2PASCL technology can be advantageously applied to low power digital devices operated at low frequencies, such as radio-frequency identifications (RFIDs), smart cards, and sensors.

The size and power consumption of digital circuits including the dimming circuit part will increase for high-performance solid state lighting (SSL) systems in the future. This study examined the low-power consumption of adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic (ADCL) due to the principles of adiabatic charging. Furthermore, the designed low-power ADCL digital pulse width modulation (PWM) was optimized for SSL dimming systems. For this purpose, an ADCL digital 3-bit PWM was optimized in two steps. In the first step, the architecture of the ADCL digital 3-bit PWM was miniaturized. In the second step, the clock cut-off circuit was designed and added to the ADCL PWM. As a result, compared to the original configuration, 60 transistors and 15 capacitors of ADCL digital 3-bit PWM were reduced for miniaturization. Moreover, the clock cut-off circuit, which controls wake-up and sleep mode of ADCL D-FFs, was designed. The power consumption of an optimized ADCL digital PWM for all bit patterns decreased by 54 %.

Adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic circuits, which are called ADCL circuits, promise us to implement low power logic circuits. Since the power supply source for ADCL circuits had not been developed, we proposed a power supply circuit for them. It is shown experimentally that by using the power supply circuit ADCL circuits can work with lower power consumption than conventional static CMOS circuit. In this paper, the power supply circuit is improved so that the power consumption can be reduced. Also, it is shown by some experiments that by using the circuit, ADCL circuits can work with lower power consumption than before Improving.

This paper describes expandable 4 bit ALU IC using adiabatic and dynamic CMOS circuit technique. It was designed so that the integrated circuit may have the function which is equivalent to HC181 which is CMOS standard logic IC for the comparison, and it was fabricated using a standard 1.2${\mu}$ CMOS process. As the result, the IC has shown that it operates perfectly on all function modes. The power dissipation is 2 order lower than that of HC 181.

The expandable 4 bit adder/subtracter IC was designed using the adiabatic and dynamic CMOS logic (ADCL) circuit as the ultra-low power consumption basic logic circuit and the IC was fabricated using a standard 1.2 ${\mu}$ CMOS process. As the result the steady operation of 4 bit addition and subtraction has been confirmed even if the frequency of the sinusoidal supply voltage is higher than 10MHz. Additionally, by the simulation, at the frequency of 10MHz, energy consumption per operation is obtained as 93.67pJ (ar addition and as 118.67pJ for subtraction, respectively. Each energy is about 1110 in comparison with the case in which the conventional CMOS logic circuit is used. A simple and low power oscillation circuit is also proposed as the power supply circuit f3r the ADCL circuit. The oscillator operates with a less one volt of DC supply voltage and around one milli-watts power dissipation.

This paper describes a design of a 1bit Carry Propagate Free Adder/Subtracter (CPFA/S) VLSI using the Adiabatic Dynamic CMOS Logic (ADCL) circuit technology. Using a PSPICE simulator, energy dissipation of the ADCL 1bit CPFA/S is compared with that of the CMOS 1bit CPFA/S. As a result, energy dissipation of the proposed ADCL circuits is about 1/23 as low as that of the CMOS circuits. The transistors count, propagation-delay tittle and energy dissipation of the ADCL 4bit CPFA/S are compared with those of the ADCL 4bit Carry Propagate Adder/Subtracter (CPA/S). The transistors count and propagation-delay tittle are found to be reduced by 7.02% and 57.1%, respectively. Also, energy dissipation is found to be reduced by 78.4%. Circuit operation and performance are evaluated using a chain of the ADCL 1bit CPFA/S fabricated in a $1.21mutextrm{m}$ CMOS process. The experimental results show that addition and subtraction are operated with clock frequencies up to about 1㎒.
