Abstract

We have designed a high speed and low power 16bit-ELM adder with variable-sized cells uitlizing the fact that the logic depth of lower bit position is less than that of the higher bit position int he conventional ELM architecture. As a result of HSPICE simulation with 0.8.mu.m single-poly double-metal LG CMOS process parameter, out 16bit-ELM adder with variable-sized cells shows the reduction of power-delay-product, which is less than that of the conventional 16bit-ELM adder with reference-sized cells by 19.3%. We optimized the desin with various logic styles including static CMOs, pass-transistor logic and Wang's XOR/XNOR gate. Maximum delay path of an ELM adder depends on the implementation method of S cells and their logic style.
