Comparative Analysis of ALU Implementation with RCA and Sklansky Adders In ASIC Design Flow

چکیده
An Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is the heart of every central processing unit (CPU) which performs basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and bitwise logic operations on binary numbers. This paper deals with implementation of a basic ALU unit using two different types of adder circuits, a ripple carry adder and a sklansky type adder. The ALU is designed using application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) platform where VHDL hardware description language and standard cells are used. The target process technology is 130nm CMOS from the foundry ST Microelectronics. The Cadence EDA tools are used for the ASIC implementation. A comparative analysis is provided for the two ALU circuits designed in terms of area, power and timing requirements. Keywords—Arithmetic Logic Unit; Ripple Carry Adder; Sklansky Adder; ASIC Design, EDA Tools

متن کاملDesign and Characterization of Fault Tolerant Power Parallel Prefix Adders using FPGA Design
Parallel-prefix adders (also known as carry tree adders) are known to have the best performance in VLSI designs. However, this performance advantage does not translate directly into FPGA implementations due to constraints on logic block configurations and routing overhead. This paper investigates three types of carry-tree adders (the Kogge-Stone, sparse Kogge-Stone, and spanning tree adder) and...
متن کاملASIC design protection against reverse engineering during the fabrication process using automatic netlist obfuscation design flow
Fab-less business model in semiconductor industry has led to serious concerns about trustworthy hardware. In untrusted foundries and manufacturing companies, submitted layout may be analyzed and reverse engineered to steal the information of a design or insert malicious Trojans. Understanding the netlist topology is the ultimate goal of the reverse engineering process. In this paper, we propose...

متن کاملModular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls
VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...
