Power dissipation has become one of the major concerns of VLSI circuit design with the rapid launching of battery operated applications. In high performance designs, the leakage component of power consumption is comparable to the switching component. This percentage will increase with technology scaling unless effective techniques are introduced to bring leakage under control. In this paper, an 8X8 multiplier is designed using different leakage power reduction techniques like MTCMOS, DUAL-V t and LECTOR. All the above mentioned techniques are simulated using Cadence virtuoso tool in 90nm technology.
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.
