Dual rail static CMOS architecture for wave pipelining

Abstract: This paper presents a new multiple-valued current-mode MOS integrated circuit for high-speed arithmetic systems with a low supply voltage. The use of a multiple-valued source-coupled logic circuit with dual-rail complementary inputs makes a ...

The influence of transition activity on dynamic power dissipation is analysed by examining three components: dissipation in combinational logic, flipflops and clock line. Transition activity is analysed by making a distinction between useful transitions ...

We address the problem of optimization of VLSI circuits to minimize power consumption while meeting performance goals. We present a method of estimating power consumption of a basic or complex CMOS gate which takes the internal capacitances of the gate ...
