Static power reduction is a challenge in deep submicron VLSI circuits. In this paper 28T full adder circuit, 14T full adder circuit and 32 bit power gated BCD adder using the full adders respectively were designed and their average power was compared. In existing work a conventional full adder is designed using 28T and the same is used to design 32 bit BCD adder. In the proposed architecture 14T transmission gate based power gated full adder is used for the design of 32 bit BCD adder. The leakage supremacy dissipated during standby mode in all deep submicron CMOS devices is reduced using efficient power gating and multi-channel technique. Simulation results were obtained using Tanner EDA and TSMC_180nm library file is used for the design of 28T full adder, 14T full adder and power gated BCD adder and a significant power reduction is achieved in the proposed architecture.

Power consumption reduction is a challenge nowadays. Techniques for dynamic and static power minimization have been proposed, but most of them are very time consuming. This work proposes an algorithm for reducing static power, which can be perfectly inserted in the conventional design flow for integrated systems considering an open source environment (open accessinfrastructure). The proposed approach, based on a Dual-Threshold technique, replaces part of the cells of the circuit by cells with a higher threshold voltage without resulting in timing violations in the circuit. The decision to replace a cell is based on timing estimates of the circuit modeling with the cell replacement, before it is actually replaced. The fact that only some cells are replaced every iteration results in a reduction of the runtime of the algorithm. Additionally, results showed a reduction in static power up to 39.28%, when applying the proposed approach in the ISCAS85 benchmark circuits.

Along with the fast development of dual-threshold voltage (dual-Vt) and multi-threshold technology, it is possible to use them to reduce static power in low-voltage high-performance circuits. In this paper, we propose a new method to realize CMOS digital circuits that are implemented with dual-Vt technology. We first present a new signal-path-level circuit model which effectively deals with the fact that there can be two threshold voltages assigned to a single gate. In order to assign proper threshold voltage to all the signal-paths in the circuit, our new algorithms introduce the concept of subcircuit extraction and include the hierarchy algorithms which are effective and fast. Experimental results show that our algorithms produce a significant reduction for the ISCAS85 benchmark circuits.
