A new low-power Dynamic-GDI full adder in CNFET technology

Abstract

In this paper, a new low-power full-adder circuit based on the proper combination of dynamic logic style and Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) low-power technique is proposed in Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNFET) technology. Using the proposed approach, the basic logic circuits such as XOR and XNOR gates are implemented which results in a full-swing, full-adder cell in the CNFET technology. The proposed circuit is simulated in HSPICE using CNFET model parameters. Finally, the simulation results justify a good improvement in the major circuit performances such as power consumption, delay and power-delay product (PDP) parameters for the proposed full-adder circuit.
