Outline • Abstract • Low-power high-speed 8-bit CLA • Simulations and implementation • Conclusion
Abstract • A high speed and low power 8-bit carry-lookahead adder using two-phase modified dual-Vt domino logic blocks which are arranged in a PLA-like design style with pipelining is presented. • The modified domino logic circuits employ dual-Vt transistors and reversed bulk-source biases for reducing subthreshold leakage current when advanced deep submicrometer process is used. • The proposed dynamic power consumption is also drastically reduced by more than 10% by the measurement results on silicon.

e. Cycle-based operation and area analysis An 8-bit adder using our proposed design, the overall transistor count is 882.
Simulations and implementation(1) • To reveal the power-saving advantage of the proposed low power design, two 8-bit CLAs are, respectively, implemented by the modified single-Vt domino logic and the modified dual-Vt domino logic using the same CMOS process. • The two CLAs implemented by TSMC 0.18-µm 1P6M CMOS process.
Conclusion • We propose a low-power high-speed PLA-styled dual-Vt domino logic design for adder implementation. • A modified dual-Vt domino logic circuit is used for pipelining structure and the unnecessary power consumption is avoided. • Not only is the correctness of the function in the gigahertz range preserved, the power dissipation is also reduced. • The PLA-styled dual-Vt domino logic structure using only one clock makes the result of an 8-bit adder appear in two cycles.
