This paper presents a 9-bit 222 MS/s low-power asynchronous single-bit/cycle successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. The SAR ADC combines techniques such as asynchronous clocking, binary-weighted custom-designed capacitive DAC with small unit capacito ...
MOS Current Mode Logic (MCML) is one of the most promising logic style to counteract power analysis attacks. Unfortunately, the static power consumption of MCML standard cells is significantly higher compared to equivalent functions implemented using stati ...

The performance of subthreshold source-coupled logic (STSCL) circuits for ultra-low power applications is explored. It is shown that the power consumption of STSCL circuits can be reduced well below the subthreshold leakage current of static CMOS circuits. ...
Power density and energy dissipation of digital IC's has become one of the main concerns during the recent years. With the increased usage of battery powered devices, ubiquitous computing, and increase in implantable biomedical applications, enhancing ener ...
The large subthreshold leakage current of static CMOS logic circuits designed in modern nanometer-scale technologies is one of the main barriers for implementing ultra-low power digital systems. Subthreshold source-coupled logic (STSCL) circuits are based ...
