Abstract

Demands for the low power VLSI have been pushing thedevelopment of aggressive design methodologies to reducethe power consumption drastically. To meet the growingdemand, we propose a low power adder, which adaptivelyselects supply voltages based on the input vector patterns.We prototyped a 32-bit Ripple Carry Adder and analyzedthe power consumption and performance in details.Results show 29% improvement in power consumptionover a conventional ripple carry adder with comparableperformance.
