Power efficient carry propagate adder

Abstract

Here we describe the design details and performance of proposed Carry Propagate Adder based on GDI technique. GDI technique is power efficient technique for designing digital circuit that consumes less power as compare to most commonly used CMOS technique. GDI also has an advantage of minimum propagation delay, minimum area required and less complexity for designing any digital circuit. We designed Carry Propagate Adder using GDI technique and compared its performance with CMOS technique in terms of area, delay and power dissipation. Circuit designed using CADENCE EDA tool and simulated using SPECTRE VIRTUOSO tool at 0.18m technology. Comparative performance result shows that Carry Propagate Adder using GDI technique dissipated 55.6% less power as compare to Carry Propagate Adder using CMOS technique.
