Objective

The main aim of this work is to design a novel arithmetic circuit which is used in DSP applications. In this paper,a power efficient approximate adder was implemented by using reverse carry propagation.

Abstract

In this project, a reverse carry propagate adder (RCPA) is presented. In the RCPA structure, the carry signal propagates in a counter-flow manner from the most significant bit to the least significant bit; hence, the carry input signal has higher significance than the output carry. This method of carry propagation leads to higher stability in the presence of delay variations. Three implementations of the reverse carry propagate full-adder (RCPFA) cell with different delay, power, energy, and accuracy levels are introduced. The proposed structure may be combined with an exact (forward) carry adder to form hybrid adders with tunable levels of accuracy.
