Review of charge-sharing logic circuits

Energy efficient circuit design is one of the crucial requirements for future consumer devices, especially portable products and computers. Conventional dynamic circuit techniques are mostly aimed at high-speed operation rather than low power consumption. Recently, several techniques are published utilizing charge-sharing for low power circuits. In this paper we review the performance of significant charge sharing logic styles. Performance advantage, problems and overheads associated with each technique are discussed and compared with other circuit techniques.
