A new logic structure, adiabatic pseudo-domino logic (APDL), which is
the combination of adiabatic theory and CMOS domino logic is described
. APDL circuits are compact, easy to cascade. and have outputs that ar
e more stable than other adiabatic logic. Comprehensive circuit simula
tions show that APDL logic can recover over 80% of the energy dissipat
ed in conventional static CMOS logic.
