In contrast, {MOS} Current Mode Logic (MCML) displays static rather than dynamic power consumption. High-speed low-power design is one of the many application areas in {VLSI} that require consideration. In this work, delay and power metrics for both {MCML} and {CMOS} have been studied and a broader analysis of {MCML} is presented. Near minimum sized transistors are used and power consumption is measured for a wide variety of circuit blocks. The most important goal of this project is to evaluate the appropriate domains of performance and power requirements in which {MCML} presents benefits over standard {CMOS}. An optimized cell library is designed and implemented in both {CMOS} and {MCML} in order to make a comparison with reference to speed and power. Much more time is spent in order to nderstand the theorethical description of {MOS} Current Mode Logic, and it is found that it is more difficult to model and simulate the circuit with compare to standard {CMOS} because of the differential inputs and low voltage swing." }
