Quasi-static adiabatic logic 2N-2N2P2D family

Abstract

A new quasi-static adiabatic logic family called 2N-2N2P2D is presented. Compared with previous dynamic adiabatic logic, the quasi-static one makes great improvements in power saving by eliminating redundant capacitive node charge/discharge and in compatibility with conventional CMOS circuits. Comprehensive circuit simulations show that about 40% power saving can be achieved compared to the 2N-2N2D logic, and up to 70% compared to conventional CMOS logic.
