Design of an Energy Efficient, High Speed, Low Power Full Subtract or Using GDI Technique

Abstract

This paper proposes the design of an energy efficient, high speed and low power full subtractor using Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) technique. The entire design has been performed in 150nm technology and on comparison with a full subtract or employing the conventional CMOS transistors, transmission gates and Complementary Pass-Transistor Logic (CPL), respectively it has been found that there is a considerable amount of reduction in Average Power consumption (Pavg), delay time as well as Power Delay Product (PDP). Pavg is as low as 13.96nW while the delay time is found to be 18.02pico second thereby giving a PDP as low as 2.51x10-19 Joule for 1 volt power supply. In addition to this there is a significant reduction in transistor count compared to traditional full subtractor employing CMOS transistors, transmission gates and CPL, accordingly implying minimization of area. The simulation of the proposed design has been carried out in Tanner SPICE and the layout has been designed in Microwind.
