Design of adiabatic multi-port register file

The paper presents one kind of adiabatic driver for multi-port register file. Between decoder part and memory array, the adiabatic driver is added to reduce the power dissipation of word-line. At the same time, we also designed adiabatic sensing amplifier for register file. Adiabatic circuits require trapezoidal wave or sinusoidal wave as inputs and outputs. But the register file presented in this paper hasn´t any requirement for inputs, so it can be easily used in embedded microprocessors. The experiment results show that the power dissipation of adiabatic register file reduces 40% versus traditional register file.
