Abstract :
This paper describes a new bootstrapped NMOS charge recovery logic (BNCRL) which realizes low energy computation. Power comparison with a state-of-the-art adiabatic charge recovery circuit is shown for an inverter chain and an 8-bit adder. The new logic circuits exhibit full rail-to-rail logic swing, less dependency of energy consumption on output load capacitance variations, and significant energy saving. Benchmark circuits were designed for comparison using 0.6-μm CMOS technology
