Summary :

In this paper, a novel pass-transistor logic with an efficient level restoration circuit, named Power Saved Pass-transistor Logic (PSPL), is proposed. It is shown how, through the use of regenerative feedback with pMOS switches, we reduce the power consumption and propagation delay compared to conventional pass-transistor logic. To demonstrate the performance of PSPL, a 5454-bit multiplier is designed. For speed and power optimization, the multiplier uses high compression-rate compressors without Booth Encoding, and a 108-bit conditional sum adder with separated carry generation block. The measured multiplication time was 13. 5 ns in a 0. 6 µm single-poly triple-metal 3. 3 V CMOS process. Furthermore, a sequential circuit of a low power 7-bit serial counter is designed and fabricated in a 0. 6 µm single-poly triple-metal 3. 3 V CMOS process. The measured operating speed was 250 MHz.
