Abstract: This paper proposes techniques like MT CMOS,
POWER GATING, DUAL STACK, GALEOR and LECTOR to
reduce the leakage power. A Full Adder has been designed using
these techniques and power dissipation is calculated and is compared
with general CMOS logic of Full Adder.
Simulation results show the validity of the proposed techniques is
effective to save power dissipation and to increase the speed of
operation of the circuits to a large extent.
Abstract: An adder is one of the most integral component of a digital system like a digital signal processor or a microprocessor. Being an extremely computationally intensive part of a system, the optimization for speed and power consumption of the adder is of prime importance. In this paper we have designed a 1 bit full adder cell based on dynamic TSPC logic to achieve high speed operation. A high threshold voltage sleep transistor is used to reduce the static power dissipation in standby mode. The circuit is designed and simulated in TSPICE using TSMC 180nm CMOS process. Average power consumption, delay and power-delay product is measured which showed considerable improvement in performance over the existing full adder designs.
