Abstract

Very Large Scale Integration VLSI is one of the emerging fields newlinein the area of low power design System On Chip SoC high speed circuits newlinewhich kindles multi disciplinary research activities Modern efforts in the newlinearea of integrated circuits encompass building more circuits onto a single newlineCMOS chip The major challenges in the area of VLSI include low power newlinetradeoff between speed and area delay and noise margin The main goal is to newlinereduce the power dissipation of microelectronic devices Circuits with low newlinepower are mandatory to develop a VLSI chip for specific applications at newlinelower nanometer technologies newlineLogic gates are the basic functionality of any digital circuit. newlineComplementary Metal Oxide CMOS transistors form the core element of newlinethe logic gates in VLSI circuits due to their eminent features such as high newlinenoise immunity and low power dissipation Various circuit level techniques newlinesuch as pass transistor logic dynamic logic are incorporated in CMOS circuits newlinefor low power design newline newline
