Abstract

Low-power computation methods allow more Boolean functions to be calculated for the same energy. If the transfer of energy through a dissipative medium is made slow enough, small amounts of energy will be dissipated in the resistance. Adiabatic-pulsed power supply (APPS) CMOS is fabricated using conventional 0.9 /spl mu/m p+ epi CMOS and is operated when the VDD power supply lead is driven between the voltage levels of VDD and VSS. Oscillations are generated using the tank circuit formed by the capacitance of the chip and an external inductor. Energy is recycled between these two reactive components providing Boolean results.
