Abstract :
In this paper we discuss some of the results obtained when we conducted an investigation into adiabatic circuits. We provide theoretical proof of power savings in adiabatic circuits when, compared to standard static CMOS circuits and relate the power savings as a function of the charging/discharging time. We provide experimental results to support our claim. In addition to this, we also provide results of our study into basic gates such as Nand, Nor, Xnor and more complicated circuits like a 4 and 8-bit adder
