The Internet of Things (IoT) applies the sensors and microcontrollers and links them through the internet. The eventual objective of low-power devices for Internet of Things is to lesser the overall system power and to extend battery life. For the development of energy efficient IoT devices, novel adiabatic techniques are proposed. By improving the performance of the comparator, one can improvise the whole system performance. The efficacy of computing devices depends on the performance of arithmetic circuits, including comparator. This paper proposes 1-bit comparator design using adiabatic techniques such as DC-DB PFAL (Direct current diode-based positive feedback adiabatic logic) and MPFAL (Modify positive feedback adiabatic logic) which are well-suited with an extensive range of applications (e.g. IoT sensors and an inbuilt analog to digital converter). For performance analysis, the results are compared together along with the other adiabatic and non adiabatic designs already reported in the literature. This paper proposes a way to decrease the dissipation of power and transistor count in binary circuits as it is one of the primary concerns. From the results, it is found that the design using DC-DB PFAL logic shows an improvement in power-delay-product of 69%, 94% and 90% compared to MPFAL, PFAL and ECRL techniques respectively.

In Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) systems, a magnitude comparator (MC) is a component of Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) used to make binary decisions. Recent technologies demand the use of power-efficient methodologies as well as techniques that require a lesser number of transistors. In this paper, a magnitude comparator is developed using full adder design logic. Full adders are basic components of the ALU which is the logical and arithmetical unit of the microprocessors and Digital Signal Processing (DSP). This design consumes less power and area when compared to other logic styles in the literature. The proposed comparator has been designed using DSCH 3.5 and simulations are done on Microwind 3.5 via 0.12 μ technologies. This comparator shows a power consumption of 31.746μW using 36 transistors. The proposed design exhibits a full adder logic-based comparator with less power consumption and transistor count as compared to those in recent literature.

This paper presents an implementation of comparator (1-bit) circuit using a MUX-6T based adder cell. MUX-6T full adder cell is designed with a combination of multiplexing control input and Boolean identities. The proposed comparator design features higher computing speed and lower energy consumption due to the efficient MUX-6T adder cell. The design adopts multiplexing technique with control input to alleviate the threshold voltage loss problem which is commonly encountered in Pass Transistor Logic (PTL) design. The proposed design successfully embeds the buffering circuit in the full adder design which helps the cell to operate at lower supply voltage compared with the other related existing designs. It also enhances the speed of the cascaded operation significantly while maintaining the performance edge in energy consumption. In the proposed design, the transistor count is minimized. For performance comparison, the proposed MUX-6T comparator (1-bit) is compared with four existing full adders based comparators using BSIM4 model parameters. The simulations are performed for 65nm process models indicate that the proposed design has lowest energy consumption along with the performance edge in both speed and energy consumption. The variants namely area and power of the proposed comparator is also compared with the published author designs to validate its suitability for low power and high speed mobile communication applications.

An efficient VLSI architecture for minimized sorting network (Vasanth sorting) in rank ordering application to remove salt and pepper noise is proposed. The basic operation in salt and pepper noise removal is rank ordering. In this work, a novel 2D sorting technique referred to as Vasanth sorting is proposed for a fixed 3 × 3 window. Vasanth sorting requires only 25 comparators to sort 9 elements of the window. A parallel architecture is developed for Vasanth sorting with 25 comparators. The processing element of the parallel architecture is an 8-bit data comparator (Two cell comparator). The performance of the proposed sorting technique is compared with the different sorting technique which is targeted for XCV1000-5bg560 on XILINX 7.1i and xc7v2000t-2flg1925 Xilinx 14.7 project manager respectively with Modelsim 10.4a for simulation and XST compiler tool for synthesis using VHDL. It was found that the parallel architecture developed for Vasanth sorting requires the only ¼ of the area in FPGA when compared to existing sorting techniques. The combinational delay of the proposed architecture was also twice as less like their counterparts. The power consumption of the logic was 7mw. Hence the above performances make Vasanth sorting a better choice compared to existing techniques for rank ordering.

A comparator for the LHCb readout chip, the Beetle, has been designed in a 0.25µm CMOS technology and is sent for fabrication. To improve threshold uniformity, each comparator has a 3 bits DAC. The comparator can handle positive and negative input signals. A polarity signal changes the polarity of the threshold level and makes the output signal always active high. The output signal is latched by a 40MHz clock and is selectable between time-over-threshold mode (in 25ns bins) and one pulse mode (25ns). Simulation results will be discussed in section II.

Low-power wide-dynamic-range systems are extremely hard to build. The biological cochlea is one of the most awesome examples of such a system: It can sense sounds over 12 orders of magnitude in intensity, with an estimated power dissipation of only a few tens of microwatts. In this paper, we describe an analog electronic cochlea that processes sounds over 6 orders of magnitude in intensity, and that dissipates 0.5 mW. This 117-stage, 100 Hz to 10 KHz cochlea has the widest dynamic range of any artificial cochlea built to date. The wide dynamic range is attained through the use of a wide-linear-range transconductance amplifier, of a low-noise filter topology, of dynamic gain control (AGC) at each cochlear stage, and of an architecture that we refer to as overlapping cochlear cascades. The operation of the cochlea is made robust through the use of automatic offset-compensation circuitry. A BICMOS circuit approach helps us to attain nearly scale-invariant behavior and good matching at all frequencies. The synthesis and analysis of our artificial cochlea yields insight into why the human cochlea uses an active traveling-wave mechanism to sense sounds, instead of using bandpass filters. The low power, wide dynamic range, and biological realism make our cochlea well suited as a front ender cochlear implants.

An approach is presented for minimizing power consumption for digital systems implemented in CMOS which involves optimization at all levels of the design. This optimization includes the technol- ogy used to implement the digital circuits, the circuit style and topology, the architecture for implement- ing the circuits and at the highest level the algorithms that are being implemented. The most important technology consideration is the threshold voltage and its control which allows the reduction of supply voltage without significant impact on logic speed. Even further supply reductions can be made by the use of an architecture based voltage scaling strategy, which uses parallelism and pipelining, to trade-off sili- con area and power reduction. Since energy is only consumed when capacitance is being switched, power can be reduced by minimizing this capacitance through operation reduction, choice of number representation, exploitation of signal correlations, re-synchronization to minimize glitching, logic design, circuit design and physical design. The low-power techniques that are presented have been applied to the design of a chipset for a portable multimedia terminal that supports pen input, speech I/O and full- motion video. The entire chipset that performs protocol conversion, synchronization, error correction, packetization, buffering, video decompression and D/A conversion operates from a 1.1V supply and con- sumes less than 5mW.

The dynamic range of operation of a system is measured by the ratio of the intensities of the largest and smallest inputs to the system. Typically, the dynamic range is quoted in the logarithmic units of decibel (dB), with 10dB corresponding to 1 order of magnitude. The largest input that a system can handle is limited by nonlinearities that cause appreciable distortion or failure at the output(s). The smallest input that a system can handle is limited by the system’s input-referred noise floor.
