Abstract

A model of computation for VLSI systems has been developed based on the Mead and Conway approach. This model accommodates the fan-out dependency in NMOS technology. Based on this model, a method for producing area-time efficient carry lookahead adders in NMOS has been developed. This method coordinates between the structural level (cells and interconnections) and the physical layout level (size of individual transistor). The proposed procedure exhibits modularity and regularity. Finally, an example of designing a 4-bit adder is given.
