Adiabatic clock circuits can save some of this power, but these depend on a time varying power supply which is difficult to implement in practice. In this paper, we present the first quasi-adiabatic clock circuit with a constant supply voltage at high speeds. Our proposed adiabatic clocks attain an average 23% clock power savings with better slew rate and the same skew compared to traditional buffered clocks.5 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
