Abstract :
A new dynamic differential logic family, Short-Circuit Current Logic (SC/sup 2/L), is proposed for low-power high-performance applications. It achieves low-power consumption by using an aggressively reduced logic swing without requiring restoration circuitry. Using a 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS technology and a nominal supply voltage of 3.3 V, a SC/sup 2/L full-adder 8 carry ripple adder (CRA) is implemented. It offers an order of magnitude less power-delay product than several other logic families.
