  2. Examples of Power Saving and Energy Recovery • Power saving by power transmission at high voltage: • 1000W transmitted at 100V, current I = 10A • If resistance of transmission circuit is 1Ω, then power loss = I2R = 100W • Transmit at 1000V, current I = 1A, transmission loss = 1W • Energy recovery from automobile brakes: • Normal brake converts mechanical energy into heat • Instead, the energy can be stored in a flywheel, or • Converted to electricity to charge a battery ELEC 5270-001/6270-001 Lecture 13

  13. Quasi-Adiabatic Logic D1 • Two sets of diodes: One controls the charging path (D1) while the other (D2) controls the discharging path • Supply lines have EVALUATE phase ( swings up) and HOLD phase ( swings low) ELEC 5270-001/6270-001 Lecture 13

  15. Quasi-Adiabatic Logic Design • Possible Cases: • The circuit output node X is LOW and the pMOS tree is turned ON: X follows  as it swings to HIGH (EVALUATE phase) • The circuit node X is LOW and the nMOS tree is ON. X remains LOW and no transition occurs (HOLD phase) • The circuit node X is HIGH and the pMOS tree is ON. X remains HIGH and no transition occurs (HOLD phase) • The circuit node X is HIGH and the nMOS tree is ON. X follows  down to LOW. ELEC 5270-001/6270-001 Lecture 13

Summary • In principle, two types of adiabatic logic designs have been proposed: • Fully-adiabatic • Adiabatic charging • Charge recovery: charge from a discharging capacitor is used to charge the capacitance from the next stage. • W.
