Abstract

This paper introduces a CMOS clock driver that shows a high efficiency of electric power (lower power consumption) with the supply of lower voltage(VDD), by taking advantage of charge recycling technology. Comparing with the existing structure, this driver showed the improved maximum efficiency of electric power; 72% and 68%, with the supplied voltage of 1.8v and 1.2v, respectively. Since the output waveform shows the tri-state operating region, utilization is expected in the digital integrated circuits.
