Abstract
The influence of the power-clock generator on the global energy-performance relationship of nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switch-based quasi-adiabatic logic circuits is investigated in this paper. This investigation is undertaken the capacitor bank type generator, it is found that the leakage current of the MOSFET switching devices used within the generator constitutes an important source of performance degradation. Capacitor type generators are found to be most efficient for low operating frequencies (less than a MHz).
