Designing of Power-Efficient CMOS Based Digital Decoder: An Architectural Variations and Comparative Insights

The manuscript delves into the design of digital decoders, specifically focusing on the $4 \times 16$ and $3 \times 8$ decoders. It examines the use of $2 \times 4$ decoders and different logic gates in the design process. Additionally, it explores the implementation of a $4 \times 16$ decoder using a $3 \times 8$ decoder and CMOS technology, known for its efficient power usage and fast performance. This study examines power consumption in different architectural configurations, with a specific focus on CMOS-based decoder implementation. The authors adeptly employ Cadence Virtuoso software for circuit realization and evaluation. Power consumption attributes are carefully measured for each decoder design utilizing CMOS technology as the framework. The empirical findings are used as the basis for a thorough comparative analysis, examining the complex connection between circuit architecture and power efficiency. The analysis offers valuable insights for selecting decoders wisely, aiding circuit designers in finding architectures that strike a balance between energy efficiency and uninterrupted operation. Furthermore, it offers a comprehensive insight into power consumption dynamics, contributing to the scholarly community's understanding of energy-efficient digital circuitry. The study has the potential for driving innovation and efficiency in CMOS-based decoding circuits as the field advances.
