In this paper, energy and minimum operating voltage (V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DDmin</sub> ) are investigated for extremely-low-voltage CMOS logic designs. The dependences of energy and V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DDmin</sub> on device parameters, such as threshold voltage, subthreshold swing parameter, and DIBL coefficient, are examined based on simulations and measurements.
