The semi-custom revolution: How to thrive or survive

This brief shows that a conventional semi-custom design-flow based on a positive feedback adiabatic logic (PFAL) cell library allows any VLSI designer to design and verify complex adiabatic systems (e.g., arithmetic units) in a short time and easy way, ...

We describe a technique for translating semicustom VLSI circuits automatically into field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for rapid prototyping to develop a system. Using an array multiplier as an example of this translation, the VLSI circuits are ...

The paper presents the design, evaluation and performance comparison of cell based, low power adiabatic adder circuits operated by two-phase sinusoidal power clock signals, as against the literatures providing the operation of various adiabatic circuits,...
