Abstract
본 논문에서는 저 전압 스윙 기술을 적용하여 저 전력 회로를 구현하고, 슬립 트랜지스터 (sleep-transistor)를 이용하여 누설전류를 최소화하는 새로운 저 전력 MOS 전류모드 논리회로 (MOS current-mode logic circuit)를 제안하였다. 제안한 회로는 저 전압 스윙 기술을 적용하여 저 전력 특성을 갖도록 설계하였고 고 문턱전압 PMOS 트랜지스터 (high-threshold voltage PMOS transistor)를 슬립 트랜지스터로 사용하여 누설전류를 최소화하였다. 제안한 회로는 <TEX>$16\;{\times}\;16$</TEX> 비트 병렬 곱셈기에 적용하여 타당성을 입증하였다. 이 회로는 슬립모드에서 기존 MOS 전류 모드 논리회로 구조에 비해 대기전력소모가 1/104로 감소하였으며, 정상 동작모드에서 11.7 %의 전력소모 감소효과가 있었으며 전력소모와 지연시간의 곱에서 15.1 %의 성능향상이 있었다. 이 회로는 삼성 <TEX>$0.18\;{\mu}m$</TEX> CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계하였으며, HSPICE를 통하여 검증하였다. This paper proposes a low-power MOS current-mode logic circuit with the low voltage swing technology and the high-threshold sleep-transistor. The sleep-transistor is used to high-threshold voltage PMOS transistor to minimize the leakage current. The <TEX>$16{\times}16$</TEX> bit parallel multiplier is designed by the proposed circuit structure. Comparing with the conventional MOS current-model logic circuit, the circuit achieves the reduction of the power consumption in sleep mode by 1/104. The proposed circuit is achieved to reduce the power consumption by 11.7% and the power-delay-product by 15.1% compared with the conventional MOS current-model logic circuit in the normal mode. This circuit is designed with Samsung <TEX>$0.18\;{\mu}m$</TEX> standard CMOS process. The validity and effectiveness are verified through the HSPICE simulation.
