A New 16-bit High Speed and Variable Stage
Carry Skip Adder
ABSTRACT
Adders are basic integral part of arithmetic circuits.
The adders have been realized with two styles: Fixed stage size and Variable
stage size. In this project, fixed stage and variable stage carry skip adder
configurations have been analyzed and then a new 16-bit high speed variable
stage carry skip adder is proposed by modifying the existing structure. The
proposed adder has seven stages where first and last stage are of 1 bit each, it
keeps increasing steadily till the middle stage which is the bulkiest and hence is
the nucleus stage. The delay and power consumption in the existing adder is
reduced by 61.75% and 8% respectively. The existing adder is implemented and
simulated using 90 nm CMOS technology in Cadence Virtuoso. The existing
adder in this work is suitable for high speed and low power VLSI based
arithmetic circuits and Aim is to enhance the VLSI parameters.
