Abstract

In this paper, several self-checking carry-propagate adders are examined and compared in terms of area integration, power dissipation and performance. Real-time detection of any single fault, permanent or transient, is ensured for all the presented circuits while the characteristics of each adder are illustrated. The results indicate that the characteristics of the adders change when safety mechanisms are applied. The constraints, also, of the required system design dictate the appropriate adder.
