Abstract Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor-based circuits are domi-
nating the device industry for more than decades. The designers have estimated that
the power performance of future generation systems will become very important and
crucial. Many approaches are already available which can be utilized to minimize the
dissipation of power. The approaches are reduction of supply voltage, minimization
of load capacitance and decreasing the switching activities. All the methods have
their drawbacks. A new classical method of decreasing power comes into play. This
is known as adiabatic or energy recovery logic. The principle of operation of this
logic depends on reversible computing. In arithmetic, multiplications always play
a vital role. Multipliers are used as the main component of various useful blocks.
The main arithmetic operations like discrete cosine transform, Fourier transform and
design of digital filters depend on multipliers. In the present scope, we have presented
one adiabatic Vedic multiplier which has good power and delay efficiency.

1 Introduction
Theoretical studies already proved that charge recovery in electronic systems can be
applied to low-power VLSI designs. The systems operate at substantially low power.
Circuit complexity and speed of operation are increasing day by day. This results
rise of silicon area, heat generation [1]. Designers are trying to minimize lifetime of
battery and supply voltage. But they are trying to improve packaging density. Very
