This paper presents new circuit configurations for a more robust and efficient form of self-resetting CMOS (SRCMOS). Prior structures for SRCMOS have very high performance but are difficult to design and are not robust over process, temperature and voltage variations. The new techniques replace delay chains with logical circuits that will create pulses at the correct times, independent of opera...

The biological deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strand has been increasingly seen as a promising computing unit. A new algorithm is formulated in this paper to design any DNA Boolean operator with molecular beacons (MBs) as its input. Boolean operators realized using the proposed design methodology is presented. The developed operators adopt a uniform representation for logical 0 and 1 for any Boole...

This paper introduces PAPA: Packed Arithmetic on a Prefix Adder, a new approach to parallel prefix adder design that supports a wide variety of packed arithmetic computations, including packed add and subtract with saturation, packed rounded average, and packed absolute difference. The approach consists of altering the prefix adder cell logic equations to take advantage of a previously unused “...

This paper mainly presents Mixed Gate Diffusion Input Full Adder based on static CMOS inverter topology. In this proposed mixed Full Adder topology, GDI Full adders are followed by inverters in the long Full Adder chain to improve the performances as compared to conventional single topology Full adder chain. For any circuits reducing the speed and power dissipation are the important constraints...

Addition is one of the most crucial operation in microprocessors which must be performed within a predefined deadline (critical path). Variation is a phenomenon which negatively affects the performance of this operation. This paper proposes a new Low-Power Variation-Mitigant (LPVM) adder design using intrinsic behavior of addition operation. The LPVM approach drastically decrease the probabilit...

This paper presents a comparative research of low-power and high-speed 4-bit full adder circuits. The representative adders used are a ripple carry adder (RCA) and a carry-lookahead adder (CLA). We also design a proposed carrylookahead adder (PCLA) using a new method that uses NAND gate for modification which helps in reducing the powerdelay product (PDP) for high performance applications. To y...

Digital adders form a significant part of the arithmetic unit in the processors. Many Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms equally uses adder and multiplier element as its component to achieve the required arithmetic operation. Hence it is important to optimize the adder circuit in the gate-level itself to design it for the required standards. Recently there are various bio-inspired optim...
