A Comparative analysis of different design styles of decoder for low power, high performance in the era of latest technologies: A review

Decoders are extensively used in logical circuits, analogue to digital converters, for code conversions, de-multiplexing, data distribution and data routing applications where extremely small propagation delay is required. For better efficiency, low power, area, and delay consumptions various decoder techniques are used based on mixed-logic, nanometer FET technology and combinational decoders. The main contribution of this work lies in comparative study of various decoders of various era: mixed-logic decoders, CMOS, PTL, DVL, TGL, hybrid decoders, MOSFET, CNTFET, GNRFET, FinFET, GDI, M-GDI and RRAM. This comparative study shall help the researches or the viewers to choose the best criteria decoder out of the methodologies used while formulating updated version of testing standards for decoders.
