This paper shows leakage as a limit to the effectiveness of voltage scaling as a means of reducing the energy per operation in a digital circuit. Methods of decreasing operational or dynamic leakage are then discussed. The design and simulation results of a sense amplifier-based pass transistor logic (SAPTL) circuit topology as a low leakage and low energy alternative is presented and then compared to standard static 90-nm CMOS implementations.
