Design and Implementation of CMOS and Transmission Gate Based Full Adder Using 45nm Technology

Abstract

Abstract: In electronic industry the level of integration is an important aspect as it makes the electronic device simpler and more reliable. The device density increases with the better level of integration. Power dissipation, Area occupied, and Propagation delay are some of the important factors that need to be considered. These parameters play a vital role in manufacturing portable electronic gadgets. Many binary adders are formed using full adders. Hence, if any enhancements have to be made to improve the performance, it can be made at the root level i.e., adders circuits itself. This in turn helps in bettering the performance of the electronics circuits which follow adder circuits. The low power VLSI design is of great importance due to portable electronic products. Full adder is a type of adder circuit that adds three inputs and gives two outputs. Out of three, two will be the present inputs and the third input will be the carry from the previous stage. ‘A’ and ‘B’ are the actual inputs, ‘C’ is the carry from the previous operation. SUM and CARRY OUT are the two outputs. In this work, Design and Implementation of full adder using conventional CMOS design and Transmission gate based Full adder circuits are carried out. At last comparison is made between the two designs with respect to power dissipation, delay and area (number of transistors). Cadence Virtuoso Tool is used in design and simulation conventional CMOS design and Transmission gate based Full adder circuits. The entire circuit is simulated in Cadence Tools at 45nm CMOS process.
