MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF LOW POWER 10 T FULL ADDER WITH REDUCED GROUND BOUNCE NOISE

Abstract

In the design of high performance complex arithmetic logic circuits, ground bounce noise, leakage current and leakage power are important and challenging issues in nanometer down scaling. In this paper, the low power and reduced ground bounce noise using 10 transistor full adder has been proposed. Full adder is the most important basic building of digital circuits employing arithmetic operation. Adder circuit is widely used in many digital circuits not only for arithmetic operation but also for address generation in processors and microcontrollers. It is therefore necessary to make these systems more efficient so that they consume less power. Here, we use stacking power gating technique to evaluate leakage current, power and ground bounce noise. This paper describes reduction of leakage power and ground bounce noise from the 10 T full adder circuits to make it more reliable to be used to have low power and stable and errorless output. All the simulation in this paper has been carried out using cadence virtuoso at 45 nm technology at various voltages and various temperatures. By using this technique the leakage current reduction can be improved by 80% and leakage power to 70% as compared to conventional 10 T full adder. Ground bounce noise can be reduced to 60% as compared to the base full adder.
