Abstract :
This paper presents the transistor-level analysis of contemporary 64-bit adders. The logical effort technique is applied to provide more descriptive presentation of the delay and circuit architecture. It also enables optimization of gate size for optimal performance. The selected adders are dynamic carry-lookahead adder (DCLA), static carry-select adder (SCSA), dynamic Kogge-Stone adder (DKSA) and Ling/conditional-sum adder (DLCNSA). The results match well with simulation using 0.18 /spl mu/m, 1.8 V CMOS. Adders with fewer levels in the critical path show superior performance. In particular, for dynamic adders, a 0.6-FO4 per-gate delay improvement was observed.
