This paper presents Differential Cascode Pre-resolve Adiabatic Logic (DCPAL) that can operate with greater functionality, larger fan-in and high energy efficiency. It is a diode free and dual rail logic operated by four phase power clock for the adiabatic pipeline. Less complex with differential cascode structure and fewer numbers of transistors, the pre-resolving feature for the complementary inputs achieves reduction in latency, significant drop in the switched capacitance that realizes power efficiency, better silicon area efficiency, reduced leakage paths and glitch-free output with reduced switching transients. Energy efficiency against static CMOS equivalent and better speed performance against 2N2P, 2N2N2P, PFAL and IPGL equivalent circuits are proved. By the use of post-layout simulations of multi-bit adder and multiplier circuits adopted through full-custom circuit design, the DCPAL achieves adiabatic gain values in the range of 20.85 at 100 MHz power clock frequency to 9.88 at 500 MHz against the static CMOS equivalent 8-bit Wallace tree multiplier circuit. Energy saving of 50% and 45% is achieved against optimized 2N2N2P and PFAL 8-bit multiplier circuits at 500 MHz, and energy saving against these circuits enhances further at higher frequencies.
