Abstract
An adder circuit provides a first operand input and a second operand input to an XNOR cell. The XNOR cell transforms these inputs to a propagate signal that is applied to an OAT cell to produce a carry out signal. A third OAT cell transforms a third operand input and the propagate signal into a sum output signal.
Claims19
An adder circuit comprising:
- a first operand input and a second operand input to an XNOR cell;
- an OAI cell transforming an output of the XNOR cell into a carry out signal;
- and
- an XOR cell comprising a NOR gate and an AOI cell configured to transform a third operand input and the output of the XNOR cell into a sum output signal.
