AB  - Graphene is a 2D material formed by planar honeycomb placement of Carbon atoms. Besides its many superior physical properties it has superior electronic properties foremost of which is the high mobility it possesses. Due to this high mobility many Graphene based transistors have been designed. Graphene nano ribbons exhibit a band gap property, which is crucial for implementing transistors as switches. Moreover there exist models for these Graphene Nano Ribbon devices. In this work we designed and simulated analog mixed signal blocks using Graphene Nano Ribbon transistors. The particular blocks that we used included telescopic amplifiers and StrongARM latches. Next we compared these blocks’ performances against the same blocks implemented in 14nm high performance Silicon CMOS transistors. As a result we observed that the graphene transistors could attain comparable performances to circuits designed in 14nm CMOS. Specifically Graphene blocks can reach up to 80% of the bandwidth of Silicon devices. However Graphene devices have greater power consumption as a result of higher leakage current.
