Positive Feedback Adiabatic Logic (PFAL), a quasi static and differential logic adiabatic family, is one of the most robust, with significant reduction in power consumption has been chosen in this work. Power Gating has been adapted in order to further reduce power dissipation. It is accomplished by sleep state control units that switch circuits between awake and idle. Two power gating methodologies, footer and header, have been evaluated and compared. The functional verification and power evaluations have been performed using TSPICE simulations with 180nm TSMC CMOS parameters. Power consumption has also been examined by varying supply voltage, frequency of the power clock signal and load capacitance. The observed overhead in awake state power dissipations is compensated for with the significant decrease in idle state power dissipation.
