Abstract

A study of several low-power and high-speed (3,2) counter designs is initially presented, then based on these findings, a new 4:2 compressor design is introduced and proven against other existing and newly devised 4:2 compressors using various logic styles. The results obtained with regards to speed, power and size were used to categorize the circuits in terms of individual and cumulative performance characteristics. A complete 16-bit multiplier design which uses a highly efficient layout scheme along with the top performing 4:2 compressor form the above study is presented. A second multiplier using industry standard (3,2) counters in a 4:2 compressor configuration following the same optimized layout scheme is constructed and simulated as a benchmark for comparison to the new design. In order to carry out this investigation, the proper methodology for power measurement in pass-logic circuits was developed and is presented within. This survey offers an unpartisan approach to power measurement, and an accurate reflection of the vantage points of each logic style.
