Design, simulation and comparative analysis of carbon nanotube based energy efficient priority encoders for nanoelectronic applications

Abstract

In the paper, innovative CNT based encoder and two priority encoders have been designed, simulated and compared with conventional CMOS encoder and priority encoders at 32 nm technology node. As the CMOS technology is continuously scaling down to physical limits of the device, several challenges come out related to scalability, reliability, short channel effects, leakage etc. To solve these issues of CMOS, CNT is one of the promising new technologies without sacrificing reliability and performance. The proposed CNT based encoder and priority encoders substantially outperformed CMOS based counterparts in Power, Delay and Power-Delay-Product.
