A sub-threshold adiabatic operation is one of the popular solutions to achieve ultra low power in the realization of modern digital circuits. The proposal of this paper is to design a 4-bit Sub-threshold Adiabatic- Carry Look-Ahead adder (SA-CLA) by utilizing the leakage current as the switching current and the energy stored in the capacitor is recycled instead of discharging it. The proposed SA-CLA has been designed and implemented in 90nm CMOS. The circuit is simulated at different combinations of source voltages and frequencies.  The circuit yields a power consumption of 30nW with 400mV supply at 100 KHz.
