Abstract

Binary addition is the most fundamental and frequentlyused operation. A well-designed adder should be fast andsatisfy the application requirements. We propose an algorithmicapproach to generate an irregular parallel-prefix adder, whichhas minimal delay for a given profile of input signals. It cancover different topologies such as ripple-carry, carry-skip andcarry-select adders. Compared with Kogge-Stone and Brent-Kungadders, the results of the proposed approach have thesmallest output delay.
