Abstract

In this communication adiabatic and conventional gates with a different fan-in are modeled and analytically compared. The comparison is carried out assuming both an assigned power supply and setting it to minimize power consumption. The analysis leads to simple expressions, which allow to understand how the power advantage of adiabatic logic changes by increasing the fan-in of the implemented gate. The analytical results were validated by means of Spice simulations using a 0.8 µm CMOS technology.
