To reduce power consumption in electronic designs, new techniques for circuit design must always be considered. Floating-gate MOS (FGMOS) is one of those techniques and has previously shown potentially better performance than standard static CMOS circuits for ultra-low power designs. One reason for this is because FGMOS only requires a few transistors per gate and still retain a large fan-in. A...
