CMOS Design

hi

can anyone of u help me in suggesting how to design and implement low power cmos. if possible provide me good links.

Re: CMOS Design

If speed is not too important, use higher threshold transistors and the leakage follows the saturation current, so lower saturation current gives lower off state leakage. Also avoid narrow W transistors as the edge effects from the isolation formation are a good source of unpredictable leakage. Again larger L devices have lower off state leakage.
