Abstract :
This paper presents an Improved Power-Delay Product (PDP) CMOS clock driver based on the charge recycling technique. Two NMOS pass transistors driven by appropriate control signals are used to accomplish the charge recycling procedure. Simulations have shown an up to 18% improvement of PDP over an equivalent conventional CMOS driver
