Design and Analysis of 10-Transistor Full Adders Using Novel Xor-Xnor Gates

摘要

Full adders are important elements in applications such as DSP architectures and microprocessors. In this paper, we propose a technique to build a total of 41 new 10-transistor full adders using novel XOR and XNOR gates in combination with existing ones. We have done over 1000 HSPICE simulation runs of all the different adders in different input patterns, frequencies, and load capacitances. Almost all those new adders consume less power in high frequencies, while three new adders consistently consume on average 10
