scholarly journals Low Power 32-Bit Floating Point Adder/Subtractor Design using 50nm CMOS VLSI Technology

In many DSP applications, generally multipliers and adders are two key components which are highly complex and consume more power. Out of that the design of adder circuitry is quite complex compared to multiplier which consumes more power. Hence optimization of power consumption of adder circuits is a challenging task in the recent year and is a need of today’s world. In order to give a justice to this problem, work presented in this paper describes the technique of designing floating point adder and subtractor using low power pipelining technique which leads to a reduction in power consumption by a significant amount. Moreover, the presented work in the paper deals with the design of low power transistorized architecture for 32-bit floating point adder/ subtractor without and with pipelining approach in 50nm CMOS VLSI technology. The experimental results demonstrated that, the dynamic power consumption of the floating point adder/subtractor architectures is reduced significantly by employing pipelining technique as compared to the without pipelining technique. Also, in this work a significant improvement has been achieved in the critical path for pipelined approach compared to without pipeline approach. The proposed design is a full custom design prepared and analyzed using cadence 6.15 tool

The content-based access of CAMs makes them of great interest in lookup-based operations. However, the large amounts of parallel comparisons required cause an expensive cost in power dissipation. In this work, we present a novel banked precomputation-based architecture for low-power and storage-demanding applications where the reduction of both dynamic and leakage power consumption is addressed. Experimental results show that the proposed banked architecture reduces up to an 89% of dynamic power consumption during the search process while the leakage power consumption is also minimized up to a 91%.

In this paper, presents circuit design of a low-power delay buffer. The proposed delay buffer uses several new techniques to reduce its power consumption. Since delay buffers are accessed sequentially, it adopts a ring-counter addressing scheme. In the ring counter, double-edge-triggered (DET) flip-flops are utilized to reduce the operating frequency by half and the C-element gated-clock strategy is proposed. Both total transistor count and the number of clocked transistors are significantly reduced to improve power consumption and speed in the flip-flop. The number of transistors is reduced by 56%-60% and the Area-Speed-Power product is reduced by 56%-63% compared to other double edge triggered flip-flops. This design is suitable for high-speed, low-power CMOS VLSI design applications.


VLSI technology become one of the most significant and demandable because of the characteristics like device portability, device size, large amount of features, expenditure, consistency, rapidity and many others. Multipliers and Adders place an important role in various digital systems such as computers, process controllers and signal processors in order to achieve high speed and low power. Two input XOR/XNOR gate and 2:1 multiplexer modules are used to design the Hybrid Full adders. The XOR/XNOR gate is the key punter of power included in the Full adder cell. However this circuit increases the delay, area and critical path delay. Hence, the optimum design of the XOR/XNOR is required to reduce the power consumption of the Full adder Cell. So a 6 New Hybrid Full adder circuits are proposed based on the Novel Full-Swing XOR/XNOR gates and a New Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) design of Full adder with high-swing outputs. The speed, power consumption, power delay product and driving capability are the merits of the each proposed circuits. This circuit simulation was carried used cadence virtuoso EDA tool. The simulation results based on the 90nm CMOS process technology model.

Generalized Parallel Counters (GPCs) are frequently used in constructing high speed compressor trees. Previous work has focused on achieving efficient mapping of GPCs on FPGAs by using a combination of general Look-up table (LUT) fabric and specialized fast carry chains. The  resulting structures are purely combinational and cannot be efficiently pipelined to achieve the potential FPGA performance. In this paper, we take an alternate approach and try to eliminate the fast carry chain from the GPC structure. We present a heuristic that maps GPCs on FPGAS using only general LUT fabric. The resultant GPCs are then easily re-timed by placing registers at the fan-out nodes of each LUT. We have used our heuristic on various GPCs reported in prior work. Our heuristic successfully eliminates the carry chain from the GPC structure with the same LUT count in most of the cases. Experimental results using Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGAs show a considerable reduction in critical path and dynamic power dissipation with same area utilization in most of the cases.

Low power design is a foremost challenging issue in recent applications like mobile phones and portable devices. Advances in VLSI technology have enabled the realization of complicated circuits in single chip, reducing system size and power utilization. In low power VLSI design energy dissipation has to be more significant. So to minimize the power consumption of circuits various power components and their effects must be identified. Dynamic power is the major energy dissipation in micro power circuits. Bus transition activity is the major source of dynamic power consumption in low power VLSI circuits. The dynamic power of any complex circuits cannot be estimated by the simple calculations. Therefore this paper review different encoding schemes for reduction of transition activity and power dissipation.

Now a Days in modern VLSI technology different kinds of errors are invitable. A new type of adder i.e. error tolerant adder(ETA) is proposed to tolerate those errors and to attain low power consumption and high speed performance in DSP systems. In conventional adder circuit, delay is mainly certified to the carry propagation chain along the critical path, from the LSB to MSB. If the carry propagation can be eliminated by the technique proposed in this paper, a great improvement in speed performance and power consumption is achieved. By operating shifting and addition in parallel, the error tolerant adder tree compensates for the truncation errors. To prove the feasibility of the ETA, normal addition operation present in the DFT or DCT algorithm is replaced by the proposed addition arithmetic and the experimental results are shown. In this paper we propose error tolerant Adder (ETA). In the view of DSP applications the ETA is able to case the strict restriction on accuracy, speed performance and power consumption when compared to the conventional Adders, the proposed one provides 76% improvement in power-delay product such a ETA plays a key role in digital signal processing system that can tolerate certain amount of errors.


This paper presents the design of floating point fixed-width multiplier using column bypassing technique for signal processing applications. The designed fixed-width multiplier provides less power consumption due to the reduction of switching activity in the operands of the partial products. This is the key element of the Multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit for enhancing its performance. The proposed MAC can be implemented in a FIR filter for DSP applications. To improve the accuracy of the FIR filter, various rounding methods have been used to solve the truncation error in the product. The power consumption is 10% lesser than conventional fixed-width multiplier and the accuracy also have been improved. The output response of the proposed filter will be simulated in the virtual software and hardware environment with the MATLAB software.
