Abstract :
The regenerative carry based addition scheme has been found to be fast, area efficient, and power efficient. Previous work demonstrated the effectiveness of this technique compared with other fast adder techniques. This paper discusses optimization choices for carry-skip blocks, as well as some practical issues for speeding up the physical implementation
