  Abstract

This paper proposes a low-power MOS current-mode logic circuit with the low voltage swing technology and the high-threshold sleep-transistor. The sleep-transistor is used to high-threshold voltage PMOS transistor to minimize the leakage current. The 16x16 bit parallel multiplier is designed by the proposed circuit structure. Comparing with the conventional MOS current-model logic circuit, the circuit achieves the reduction of the power consumption in sleep mode by 1/104. The proposed circuit is achieved to reduce the power consumption by 11.7% and the power-delay-product by 15.1% compared with the conventional MOS current-model logic circuit in the normal mode. This circuit is designed with Samsung 0.18 ㎛ standard CMOS process. The validity and effectiveness are verified through the HSPICE simulation.
