This document compares the use of complementary pass-transistor logic (CPL) to conventional CMOS design. CPL uses fewer transistors than CMOS gates, has smaller capacitances, and is faster. A 2:1 multiplexer is designed using both CMOS and CPL in Microwind and DSCH2 layout tools. Simulation results show the CPL multiplexer has lower power consumption, smaller area, faster rise/fall delays compared to the CMOS multiplexer. Therefore, CPL offers advantages over conventional CMOS in terms of speed, area, and power-delay products.
