Abstract :
The design of digital structures that are implemented in FPGAs or ASICs is subject to many constraints. This work proposes that systemic design should be used to optimize area/speed tradeoffs in simple digital structures (adders). Systemic approach in complex problem solving allows the analysis and synthesis of objects of different nature and complexity from a holistic point of view, considering the initial complex factors for each system. Although there are a variety of adder circuits (Ripple Carry Adder; Carry Skip Adder; Carry Increment Adder; Sklansky Adder; Kogge & Stone Adder), following the systemic design, optimum structures are obtained, given the initial complex constraints.
