The document discusses the design and implementation of low power and area-efficient arithmetic circuits using the Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) technique, demonstrating improvements over traditional pass transistor logic (PTL). It highlights the development of an 8:1 multiplexer and a 4-bit arithmetic circuit, emphasizing reduced power consumption and propagation delays. The GDI technique allows for simpler designs with fewer transistors while significantly enhancing performance in various digital applications.
