Abstract
The paper primarily focuses on reducing the power consumption without diminishing the speed of the circuit by using multiple supply voltages (Multi-VDD). Two multi threshold (Multi-VTH) level converter circuits are proposed and it is compared with the conventional circuits for operating at different supply voltages (Multi-VDD). The converter circuits are individually optimized for minimum power consumption and propagation delay. The speed and power consumption for the proposed level converters were analyzed.
