Adiabatic pseudo-domino logic

Abstract

A new logic structure, adiabatic pseudo-domino logic (APDL), which is the combination of adiabatic theory and CMOS domino logic is described. APDL circuits are compact, easy to cascade, and have outputs that are more stable than other adiabatic logic. Comprehensive circuit simulations show that APDL logic can recover over 80% of the energy dissipated in conventional static CMOS logic.
