The scaling process of the conventional 2D-planar metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is now approaching its limit as technology has reached below 20 nm process technology. A new nonplanar device architecture called FinFET was invented to overcome the problem by allowing transistors to be scaled down into sub-20 nm region. In this work, the FinFET structure is implemented in 1-bit full adder transistors to investigate its performance and energy efficiency in the subthreshold region for cell designs of Complementary MOS (CMOS), Complementary Pass-Transistor Logic (CPL), Transmission Gate (TG), and Hybrid CMOS (HCMOS). The performance of 1-bit FinFET-based full adder in 16-nm technology is benchmarked against conventional MOSFET-based full adder. The Predictive Technology Model (PTM) and Berkeley Shortchannel IGFET Model-Common Multi-Gate (BSIM-CMG) 16 nm low power libraries are used. Propagation delay, average power dissipation, power-delay-product (PDP), and energy-delay-product (EDP) are analysed based on all four types of full adder cell designs of both FETs. The 1-bit FinFET-based full adder shows a great reduction in all four metric performances. A reduction in propagation delay, PDP, and EDP is evident in the 1-bit FinFET-based full adder of CPL, giving the best overall performance due to its high-speed performance and good current driving capabilities.

In this paper, a hybrid 1-bit adder and 1-bit Subtractor designs are implemented. The hybrid adder circuit is constructed using CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) logic along with pass transistor logic. The design can be extended 16 and 32 bits lately. The proposed full adder circuit is compared with the existing conventional adders in terms of power, delay and area in order to obtain a better circuit that serves the present day needs of people. The existing 1-bit hybrid adder uses EXNOR logic combined with the transmission gate logic. For a supply voltage of 1.8V the average power consumption (4.1563 µW) which is extremely low with moderately low delay (224 ps) resulting because of the deliberate incorporation of very weak CMOS inverters coupled with strong transmission gates. At 1.2V supply the power and delay were recorded to be 1.17664 µW and 91.3 ps. The design was implemented using 1-bit which can also be extended into a 32-bit design later. The designed implementation offers a better performance in terms of power and speed compared to the existing full adder design styles. The circuits were implemented in DSCH2 and Microwind tools respectively. The parameters such as power, delay, layout area and speed of the proposed circuit design is compared with pass transistor logic, adiabatic logic, transmission gate adder and so on. The circuit is also designed with a decrease in transistors in order to get the better results. Full Subtractor, a combinational digital circuit which performs 1-bit subtraction with borrow in is designed as a part of this project. The main aim behind this part of the project is to design a 1-bit full Subtractor using CMOS technology with reduced number of transistors and hence the efficiency in terms of area, power and speed have been calculated is designed using 8,10,15and 16 transistors. The parameters were calculated in each case and the results have been tabulated.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a new fin field-effect transistor (FinFET)-based domino technique low-power series connected foot-driven transistors logic in 32 nm technology and examine its performance parameters by performing transient analysis. Design/methodology/approach In the proposed technique, the leakage current is reduced at footer node by a division of current to improve the performance of the circuit in terms of average power consumption, propagation delay and noise margin.

Findings The proposed technique shows maximum power reduction of 77.74% in FinFET short gate (SG) mode in comparison with current-mirror-based process variation tolerant (CPVT) technique and maximum delay reduction of 51.34% in low power (LP) mode in comparison with CPVT technique at a frequency of 100 MHz. The unity noise gain of the proposed circuit is 1.10× to 1.54× higher in comparison with different existing techniques in FinFET SG mode and 1.11× to 1.71× higher in FinFET LP mode.

The flip-flops are considered as major contributors to the power dissipation of the clocking system, which is made up of the clock provision network and storage elements (latches, flip-flops). The power- and delay-efficient new implicit-pulsed dual-edge triggering flip-flop circuit (IP-DETFF) is proposed with two latching stages by employing an implicit-pulse triggering, dual-edge clocking and reducing the number of clocked loads. This leads to the reduction of power consumption due to clock allocation tree (pclk-tree) and reduces the delay time. The dual-edge clocking technique is incorporated into this proposed design without an increment of the number of transistors and minimizes the operating frequency as half. This methodology is also employed in this proposed design to construct new latching part of the flip-flop circuit. The performance of proposed flip-flop is analyzed by simulating the circuit at 0.12[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process technology. The simulation results show that the proposed design achieves power saving from 11.22% to 54.81%, improvement of speed from 67% to 71.50%, power-delay product (PDP) from 74.85% to 81.26 %, energy-delay product (EDP) from 87.86% to 92.4% and power-energy product (PEP) from 75.24% to 93.57% compared to the conventional flip-flops.

Adders are constituted as the fundamental blocks of arithmetic circuits and are considered important for computation devices. Approximate computing has become a popular and developing area, promising to provide energy-efficient circuits with low power and high performance. In this paper, 10T approximate adder (AA) and 13T approximate adder (AA) designs using carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNFET) technology are presented. The simulation for the proposed 10T approximate adder and 13T approximate adder designs were carried out using the HSPICE tool with 32 nm CNFET technology. The metrics, such as average power, power-delay product (PDP), energy delay product (EDP) and propagation delay, were carried out through the HSPICE tool and compared to the existing circuit designs. The supply voltage Vdd provided for the proposed circuit designs was 0.9 V. The results indicated that among the existing full adders and approximate adders found in the review of adders, the proposed circuits consumed less PDP and minimum power with more accuracy.
