  • Abstract
    A 32times32 register file based on dual transmission gate adiabatic logic (DTGAL) is implemented with TSMC 0.18 mum process. The energy of all nodes with large capacitances including storage cells can be well recovered without non-adiabatic loss. Full-custom layouts are drawn. The energy and functional simulations have been performed using the net-list extracted from their layouts. The results show the adiabatic register file can work very well.
