Architectural design of sequential circuit based on improved diode-free adiabatic logic
摘要
The primary objective of the work is to demonstrate the efficacy of a recently proposed adiabatic logic family called improved Diode-Free Adiabatic Logic (IDFAL), particularly for sequential circuit applications under variable conditions. The IDFAL architecture employs a two-phase clocking mechanism along with a complementary split-level sinusoidal power supply for efficient energy recovery. Extensive simulations were conducted on various sequential circuits using IDFAL at 45 nm technology node, employing Berkeley Low Power Predictive Technology Model (LP PTM V2.1). Since adiabatic logic is efficient at lower operating frequencies, analyses were performed at 100 kHz and 400 kHz. The study was carried out using Cadence Virtuoso in an analog environment with Spectre
