Designing a High-Speed, Low-Area Three-Operand Binary Adder using Kogge-Stone, Han-Carlson, and Ladner-Fischer VLSI Architectures
Objective
Leverage Parallel-Prefix Architectures • Explore and design three-operand addition using Kogge-Stone (KS) prefix tree to minimize delay. • Use Han-Carlson (HCA) architecture to balance speed and area — HCA offers a compromise: relatively low depth with less wiring / gate complexity than full Kogge-Stone. • Use Ladner-Fischer (LF) prefix architecture for its low logic-depth and manageable fan-out, aiming to reduce delay and possibly area.
Abstract
High-speed arithmetic units are critical components in modern VLSI systems, particularly in processors, digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, and communication hardware. Among these, multi-operand addition plays a vital role in applications such as multiplication, accumulation, and arithmetic logic units (ALUs). Conventional binary adders are primarily designed for two-operand addition, leading to increased delay and area when extended to handle three operands through cascading structures. This work presents the design of a high-speed, low-area three-operand binary adder using the Kogge-Stone parallel prefix architecture. By efficiently combining carry-save techniques with fast carry-propagation using Kogge-Stone logic, the proposed design significantly reduces critical path delay while maintaining area efficiency. The architecture is well suited for high-performance and low-latency digital systems.
