Power Dissipation analysis of Conventional CMOS and Adiabatic CMOS circuits

In recent years, low power circuit design has been an important issue in VLSI design areas. If the power consumption is less, then the amount of power dissipation is also less. Energy recovery adiabatic logic circuit is a low power design solution. Adiabatic circuits are those circuits which work on the principle of adiabatic charging and discharging. These circuits recycle the energy from output nodes instead of discharging it to ground. This paper presents the detail survey of relevant literature on adiabatic logic circuits published in the standard journals and database. There are many low power design techniques at different abstraction levels of digital system design. This paper gives literature survey on low power design techniques and justifies the need of energy recovery adiabatic technique over conventional CMOS.
