Abstract

Binary adders are fundamental in digital circuit designs, including digital signal processors and microprocessor data path units. Consequently, significant research has focused on improving adders’ power-delay efficiency. The carry tree adder (CTA) is alternatively referred to as the parallel prefix adder (PPA), is among the fastest adders, achieving superior performance in very large scale integrated (VLSI) implementations through efficient concurrent carry generation and propagation. This study introduces approximate PPAs (AxPPAs) by applying approximations in prefix operators (POs). Four types of AxPPAs approximate kogge-stone, approximate brent-kung, approximate ladner fischer, and approximate sparse kogge-stone-were designed and implemented on FPGA with bit widths up to 64-bit. Delay measurements from static timing analysis using Xilinx ISE design suite version 14.7 indicate that AxPPAs exhibit better latency performance than traditional PPAs. The AxPPA sparse kogge-stone, in particular, demonstrated superior area and speed performance, achieving a delay of 2.501ns for a 16-bit addition.
