A 0.8 V 0.23 nW 1.5 ns Full-Swing Pass-Transistor XOR Gate in 130 nm CMOS

A power efficient circuit topology is proposed to implement a low-voltage CMOS 2-input pass-transistor XOR gate. This design aims to minimize power dissipation and reduce transistor count while at the same time reducing the propagation delay. The XOR gate utilizes six transistors to achieve a compa...
