The growing demand for high density VLSI circuits the leakage current on the oxide thickness is becoming a major challenge in deep-sub-micron CMOS technology. In deep submicron technologies, leakage power becomes a key for a low power design due to its ever increasing proportion in chip‟s total power consumption. Motivated by emerging battery-operated application on one hand and shrinking techn...

A rapid growth in semiconductor technology and increasing demand for portable devices powered up by battery has led the manufacturers to scale down the feature size, resulting reduced threshold voltage and thereby enabling integration of extremely complex functionality on a single chip. In CMOS circuits, increased sub-threshold leakage current refers static power dissipation is the result of lo...

In this paper a circuit design technique to improve noise tolerant of a new CMOS domino logic family called feedthrough logic is presented. The feedthrough logic improves the performance of arithmetic circuit as compared to static CMOS and domino logic but its noise tolerant is very less. A 2-input NAND gate is designed by the proposed technique. The ANTE (average noise threshold energy) metric...

This paper provides the estimation of power dissipation of CMOS and finFET based 6T SRAM Memory. CMOS expertise feature size and threshold voltage have been scaling down for decades for achieving high density and high performance. The continuing reduce in the feature size and the corresponding increases in chip density and operating frequency have made power consumption a major concern in VLSI ...

Dynamic CMOS logic circuits are used in high performance VLSI chips in order to achieve very high system performance. These circuits requires less number of transistors as compare to CMOS logic circuits Dynamic logic circuits are much affected by noise as compared to static CMOS circuit. This is due to the fact that dynamic logic circuits have lower value of switching threshold voltage, which i...

To eliminate the influence of the inconsistency on the cycle life and the available capacity of the battery pack, and improve the balancing speed, a novel inductor-based layered bidirectional equalizer (IBLBE) is proposed. The equalizer is composed of the bottom balancing circuits and the upper balancing circuits, and the two layer circuits both consist of a plurality of balancing sub-circuits,...

Ultralow threshold nanolasers have been sought after as power efficient light sources in photonic integrated circuits. Here a single-cell nanobeam laser with a nanoisland quantum well is proposed and demonstrated. Continuous operation at 1.5 μm is achieved at room temperature with an ultralow lasing threshold of 210 nW in absorbed power. The size of the active medium is reduced to 0.7 × 0.25 × ...
