This paper presents the design, the analysis and the complete characterization of a novel split-path Data Driven Dynamic (sp-D3L) full adder cell in IBM’s 65 nm CMOS process. The split path D3L design style derived from standard D3L allows the design of high speed dynamic circuits without the power overhead of the clock tree while providing significantly higher performance than the D3L due to r...

In this review paper different design techniques of multi bit adder are deliberate using linear parameters logic gates. The comparison is carried by several parameter mainly focus on a number of linear threshold gates, a number of CMOS transistor, power dissipation, power delay product (PDP), average power dissipation time delay and size of the full adder circuit. Adder circuits basically imple...

A standard cell based gate level synchronous full adder design is presented in this paper. The main highlight of the article is that the proposed full adder realization is found to be better in terms of power-delay product (PDP), even in comparison with the full adder element that has been made available as part of two commercial standard cell libraries viz. the high-speed 130nm Faraday (UMC) b...

Energy recovery technique has attracted interest of low power VLSI designers in recent years. This low power design technique has been proposed and discussed by many researchers. In this paper, we implemented energy recovery technique in the PSPICE using an 8-bit full adder circuit as an example. Full adder circuit has been widely used in arithmetic operations for addition, multipliers and Arit...

In Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) designs, Parallel prefix adders (PPA) have the better delay performance. A parallel prefix adder involves the execution of the operation in parallel which can be obtained by segmentation into smaller pieces. The binary addition is the basic arithmetic operation in digital circuits and it became essential in most of the digital systems including Arithmetic ...

The fused floating-point three-term adder performs two additions in a single unit to achieve better performance and better accuracy compared to a network of traditional floating-point two-term adders, which is referred to as a discrete design. Here are several critical design issues for the fused floating-point three-term adder: 1) Complex exponent processing and significand alignment, 2) Compl...

Adders are some of the most critical data path circuits requiring considerable design effort in order to squeeze out as much performance gain as possible. Various adder structures can be used to execute addition such as serial and parallel structures and most of researches have done research on the design of high-speed, low-area, or lowpower adders. Adders like ripple carry adder, carry select ...

full adder cell is often placed in the critical path of other circuits. therefore it plays an important role in determining the entire performance of digital system. moreover, portable electronic systems rely on battery and low-power design is another concern. in conclusion it is a vital task to design high-performance and low-power full adder cells. since delay opposes against power consumptio...

A complex digital circuit comprises of adder as a basic unit. The performance of the circuit depends on the design of this basic adder unit. The speed of operation of a circuit is one of the important performance criteria of many digital circuits which ultimately depends on the delay of the basic adder unit. Many research works have been devoted in improving the delay of the adder circuit. In t...

In this paper, various designs of low-power full-adder cell are studied. Simulation of these full-adder cells are carried out. The experiments simulate all combinations of input transitions and consequently determine the power consumption for the various full-adder cells. The simulation results highlight the weaknesses and the strengths of the various full-adder cell designs. The high performan...
