Design and Implementation of Low Power 8-Bit Carry-Look Ahead Adder Using Static CMOS Logic and Adiabatic Logic

Addition forms the basic structure for many processing operations like counting, multiplication, filtering etc. Adder circuits that add two binary numbers are of great interest for many designers. The simplest approach to design an adder is to implement gates to yield the required logic function. Carry look-ahead adder is a major functional block in arithmetic logic unit due to its high speed operation. The arithmetic logic unit has been widely used in microprocessor systems and mostly in processing modules of embedded systems.
