Shunbaga Pradeepa Journal on Communication Engineering and Systems 2277-5242 1 2 36 49 Low power, Adiabatic Logic, Asynchronous, Semiconductor Industry, Moore's Law Adiabatic Logic styles in low power VLSI design have been examined for many years to achieve predictable low power design success. In this paper, we present a comprehensive literature review pertaining to the state-of-the-art issues in adiabatic logic designs and also focus on primary developments in this field that have taken place in the low power design. Various research papers and application notes have been referred to, for clear understanding of adiabatic logic designs on low power solutions. Major focus of this paper is to identify the gaps of the adiabatic logic designs and to narrow down the problems and requirements for its practical usage in semiconductor industries. Enough designs and methods have been proposed over last few decades, but the implementation of this logic, triggers the designer in various open points, which restricts further stems. This paper highlights the major open points and gives the solution for further design requirement to implement the adiabatic logic in semiconductor industries.
