The measured I –V data and the large-signal equivalent circuit of a resonant tunneling diode are exploited, through the analog behavioral modeling capabilities of Pspice, to create a Pspice compatible model for the diode. The model is used, with very few other components, in the simulation of a number of circuit applications including a sinusoidal wave generator, a frequency multiplier and thre...

Abstract—In this paper, a new design of adiabatic circuit, called energy efficient adiabatic logic (EEAL) is proposed. Earlier various diode based adiabatic logic families have been proposed. To achieve minimum energy consumption, this paper proposes a technique in which diode is replaced by MOS transistor at charging and discharging path whose gate is controlled by the power clocks. By using t...

This paper presents a new quasi adiabatic logic family that uses a pair of complementary split-level sinusoidal power supply clocks for digital low power applications such as sensors. The proposed two phase clocked adiabatic static CMOS logic (2PASCL) circuit utilizes the principle of adiabatic switching and energy recovery. By removing the diode at the charging path, higher output amplitude is...

Dynamic logic style is used in high performance circuit design because of its fast speed and less transistors requirement as compared to CMOS logic style. But it is not widely accepted for all types of circuit implementations due to its less noise tolerance and charge sharing problems. A small noise at the input of the dynamic logic can change the desired output. Domino logic uses one static CM...

This paper proposes a two-phase clocked adiabatic static CMOS logic (2PASCL) circuit that utilizes the principles of adiabatic switching and energy recovery. The low-power 2PASCL circuit uses two complementary split-level sinusoidal power supply clocks whose height is equal to Vdd. It can be directly derived from static CMOS circuits. By removing the diode from the charging path, higher output ...

The power consumption and delay optimization has been the main concerns for the VLSI technology. In this project we propose a new adiabatic technique using diode connected transistors. This technique emphasizes on reduction of power by lowering the non-recoverable power consumption in adiabatic circuits. This technique achieves full adiabatic operation by providing separate charging and dischar...

We report novel photovoltaic (PV) switching based on the low exciton-binding energy property of an organic heptazole (C26H16N2) thin film after fabrication of an heptazole-based Schottky diode. The Schottky diode cell displayed an instantaneous voltage of 0.3 V as an open circuit voltage (VOC) owing to the work function difference between the Schottky and ohmic electrode under deep blue illumin...
