Abstract

This paper presents S2 L, which exhibits low power; high-speed with use of positive feedback circuits and dual Vt. Topology-dependent dual Vt approach suppresses leakage current while boosting the performance in VDSM technology. S2 L consumes less dynamic and static power compared to Monotonic Static (MS) CMOS. We present simulation results of NAND-NOR gate chains and 32-b adders to demonstrate the effectiveness of the S2 L compared to other techniques. Design automation for the proposed circuit architecture can be achieves d easily due to cascading flexibility.
