چکیده

Approximate ripple carry adders (RCAs) and carry lookahead adders (CLAs) are presented which are compared with accurate RCAs and CLAs for performing a 32-bit addition. The accurate and approximate RCAs and CLAs are implemented using a 32/28nm CMOS process. Approximations ranging from 4to 20-bits are considered for the less significant adder bit positions. The simulation results show that approximate RCAs report reductions in the power-delay product (PDP) ranging from 19.5% to 82% than the accurate RCA for approximation sizes varying from 4to 20-bits. Also, approximate CLAs report reductions in PDP ranging from 16.7% to 74.2% than the accurate CLA for approximation sizes varying from 4to 20-bits. On average, for the approximation sizes considered, it is observed that approximate CLAs achieve a 46.5% reduction in PDP compared to the approximate RCAs. Hence, approximate CLAs are preferable over approximate RCAs for the low power implementation of approximate computer arithmetic.

Comparative Design of 16-Bit Sparse-Tree Rsfq Adder

In this paper, we propse 16-bit sparse tree RSFQ adder (Rapid single flux quantam), kogge-stone adder, carry lookahead adder. In general N-bit adders like Ripple carry adder s(slow adders compare to other adders), and carry lookahead adders(area consuming adders) are used in earlier days. But now the most of industries are using parallel prefix adders because of their advantages compare to kogg...

Robust Asynchronous Carry Lookahead Adders

Novel gate level synthesis of robust asynchronous carry lookahead adders based on the notion of section carry is discussed in this paper. For a range of higher order addition operations, the carry lookahead adder is found to exhibit reduced latency than the carry ripple version by 38.6%. However, the latter occupies less area and dissipates less power compared to the former by 37.8% and 17.4% r...

A Measurement-Based Form of the Out-of-Place Quantum Carry-Lookahead Adder

We present the design of a quantum carry-lookahead adder using measurement-based quantum computation. The quantum carry-lookahead adder (QCLA) is faster than a quantum ripple-carry adder; QCLA has logarithmic depth while ripple adders have linear depth. Our design is evaluated in terms of number of time steps and the total number of qubits used.

Self-Timed Carry-Lookahead Adders

ÐInteger addition is one of the most important operations in digital computer systems because the performance of processors is significantly influenced by the speed of their adders. This paper proposes a self-timed carry-lookahead adder in which the logic complexity is a linear function of n, the number of inputs, and the average computation time is proportional to the logarithm of the logarith...
