This study describes a low-power 16-bit logarithmic signal processor built using clocked adiabatic logic. The circuit has been designed and implemented using an Austria Micro Systems 0.35 μm complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) process. A test device has been fabricated and functionally verified. The processor architecture has an active area of 0.57 mm 2 . Simulation results with this architecture, using clock frequencies up to 100 MHz have confirmed results from other researchers that clocked adiabatic consumes up to ten times less power than conventional CMOS logic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
