A Review on Design and Development of Pipelined Quaternary Adder for Fast Addition

Design of the binary logic circuits is limited by the requirement of the interconnections. A possible solution could be arrived at by using a larger set of signals over the same chip area. Multiple-valued logic (MVL) designs are gaining importance from that perspective. This paper presents the design of a multiple-valued half adder and full adder circuits. In Quaternary adders the binary value is first converted into the Quaternary value and then the addition operation is performed with less number of gates and minimum depth of net. Sum and carry are processed in two separate blocks, controlled by code generator unit. Simple pass transistors are used for implementation. Area of the designed circuits is less than the corresponding binary circuits and quaternary adders because number of transistors used are less. We can implement this paper by using pipelining which help us to reduce the delay of operation and also help us to improve the throughput of the system, the designing of the paper is done by using VHDL.

Design and Implementation 4-Bit Quaternary MVL Arithmetic and Logic Unit

In the recent years, there were major importance to Multiple Valued Logic (MVL), where the most common reasons for considering the implementation of MVL circuits better then binary valued circuits are that reducing wiring congestion as compared to binary circuits, using a single conductor to transmit three or more discrete voltage or current values allows for greater information content per wire and the circuit cost models would be more economical. Therefore, in this paper the MVL concepts have been used to design 4-bit quaternary MVL Arithmetic and Logic Unit, which is considered a basic unit of a MVL microprocessor. It is the "heart" of a microprocessor and we could say that everything else in the microprocessor is there to support the ALU. The proposed Arithmetic and Logic Unit will do the operations as Addition, Subtraction, Maximum, Minimum and Invert. Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) tool in Cadence simulator used in simulation the proposed Arithmetic and Logic Unit. The simulation results tells that the design is more efficient compared with the binary ALU and the circuit will be less area and less number of transistors

Comparison of Binary and Multi-Level Logic Electronics for Embedded Systems

Embedded systems are dependent on low-power, miniaturized instrumentation. Comparator circuits are common elements in applications for digital threshold detection. A multi-level, memory-based logic approach is in development that offers potential benefits in power usage and size with respect to traditional binary logic systems. Basic 4-bit operations with CMOS gates and comparators are chosen to compare circuit implementations of binary structures and quaternary equivalents. Circuit layouts and functional operation are presented. In particular, power characteristics and transistor count are examined. The potential for improved embedded systems based on the multilevel, memory-based logic is discussed

First order sigma-delta modulator of an oversampling ADC design in CMOS using floating gate MOSFETS

We report a new architecture for a sigma-delta oversampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in which the first order modulator is realized using the floating gate MOSFETs at the input stage of an integrator and the comparator. The first order modulator is designed using an 8 MHz sampling clock frequency and implemented in a standard 1.5µm n-well CMOS process. The decimator is an off-chip sinc-filter and is programmed using the VERILOG and tested with Altera Flex EPF10K70RC240 FPGA board. The ADC gives an 8-bit resolution with a 65 kHz bandwidth

Low Power Design Techniques for Digital Logic Circuits.

With the rapid increase in the density and the size of chips and systems, area and power dissipationbecome critical concern in Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit design. Low powerdesign techniques are essential for today's VLSI industry. The history of symbolic logic and sometypical techniques for finite state machine (FSM) logic synthesis are reviewed.The state assignment is used to optimize area and power dissipation for FSMs. Two costfunctions, targeting area and power, are presented. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to searchfor a good state assignment to minimize the cost functions. The algorithm has been implementedin C. The program can produce better results than NOVA, which is integrated into SIS by DCBerkeley, and other publications both in area and power tested by MCNC benchmarks.Flip-flops are the core components of FSMs. The reduction of power dissipation from flip-flopscan save power for digital systems significantly. Three new kinds of flip-flops, called differentialCMOS single edge-triggered flip-flop with clock gating, double edge-triggered and multiple valuedflip-flops employing multiple valued clocks, are proposed. All circuits are simulated using PSpice.Most researchers have focused on developing low-power techniques in AND/OR or NAND& NOR based circuits. The low power techniques for AND /XOR based circuits are still intheir early stage of development. To implement a complex function involving many inputs,a form of decomposition into smaller subfunctions is required such that the subfunctions fitinto the primitive elements to be used in the implementation. Best polarity based XOR gatedecomposition technique has been developed, which targets low power using Huffman algorithm.Compared to the published results, the proposed method shows considerable improvement inpower dissipation. Further, Boolean functions can be expressed by Fixed Polarity Reed-Muller(FPRM) forms. Based on polarity transformation, an algorithm is developed and implementedin C language which can find the best polarity for power and area optimization.
