Implementation of Higher Radix Full Adder in 130 Nm Submicron Technology
Deepak Jain; Dr. M. Zahid Alam
Arithmetic circuits play a crucial role in VLSI technology. Arithmetic blocks are usually the most power consuming parts in a system since the switching activity is quite high. Alternative arithmetic implementations can be a solution to reduce power consumption and to increase the performance of the whole system. As at the present, binary number system is the most common number system used by computer systems. However, long ago, there were such computer systems which were based on the decimal (base 10) number system rather than the binary number system. Systems designers shows that arithmetic operation of radix 2 number i.e. binary number is better than the radix 10 i.e. decimal arithmetic for specific calculations, but still decimal arithmetic is used in many software systems that specify the use of decimal arithmetic in their calculations
