High Efficiency Carry Save Adder using Modified–gate Diffusion Input Technique

Addition is a fundamental function in the design of a digital system, necessary for applications such as signal processing, arithmetic operations, multiplexers, and control systems. Hence, the digital system’s performance is considerably reliant on the efficiency of the adders. Therefore, designing a 4-bit carry save adder (CSA) that consumes less power, occupies a smaller area, and operates at a higher speed is proposed using the modified–gate diffusion input (MOD–GDI) technique. The primary focus is to reduce the area occupied by decreasing the transistor count as compared with other logic styles (i.e., conventional, and Boolean simplification) for CSA through Cadence Virtuoso simulation based on SilTerra 180 nm technology. Notably, the number of transistors is reduced from 42 in the conventional full adder to 11 in the proposed MOD–GDI design. As a result, the proposed 4-bit CSA with MOD–GDI technique is efficient in improving the speed of addition by reducing the area and power consumption.

Design, Implementation and Performance Analysis of Test Pattern Generator for Built-In Self-Test using m-GDI Technology

Background: A Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) is typically used for generating the test patterns in built-in self-test (BIST) as it produces pseudorandom patterns at every clock cycle. These pseudo-random patterns are used as test vectors for testing the VLSI circuits. Objective: The pseudorandom patterns generated by the LFSR exhibit low-correlation among the patterns, this increases the switching activity and power dissipation while testing the VLSI circuit. Thus, to reduce the testing power, modified gate diffusion input (m-GDI) logic based LFSR in 45nm technology is proposed in this paper. Methods: The circuits are developed on m-GDI technology using the Cadence virtuoso tool and a spectre simulator is used to carry out the simulation. Findings: Comparative analysis revealed that the delay and power are reduced significantly, for the proposed design when compared to the existing LFSRs in conventional CMOS, GDI and reversible logic. Novelty and applications: In conventional LFSR, an external source is necessary to load the seed value and it dissipates more power. But in the proposed design, the seed value is generated by the circuit itself. This reduces the power and critical path delay. Further a complete zero patterns is not possible in conventional LFSR design. But in proposed design, all zero pattern is plausible. The design obtained from this study can be applied in low-power, high-speed BIST circuits. Keywords: LFSR; Seed Value; Test Patterns; Built-In-Self-Test; m-GDI

Also, full-swing property of our new adders are proved when they are subjected to all possible input combinations and transitions.

Performance Analysis of Multipliers Using Modified Gate Diffused Input Technology

The primitive constraints in any VLSI system design are power, delay and area. Systems based on CMOS logic consume more power and area. Higher power dissipation will have a direct effect on the lifetime and performance of digital systems. Adders and multipliers form the core of almost all the digital systems like Microprocessor, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), etc., so the adders and multipliers need to be optimized in terms of power, area and delay for an efficient and cost-effective processor design. This paper presents an approach for implementing 8-bit Array multiplier, Wallace Tree multiplier and Vedic multiplier using modified Gate Diffusion Input (m-GDI) technology and comparative analysis against area, power and delay. From the analysis, it is found that multipliers, which are built on m-GDI logic, occupy less area, dissipate less power and experience less delay than the multipliers based on CMOS logic, GDI logic and Booth multiplier. Also among the three m-GDI-based multipliers, Vedic multiplier performs better in terms of area, speed and power than array multiplier and Wallace tree multiplier.

Efficient VLSI Architecture for 16-Point Discrete Cosine Transform

The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is an important transform in image and video processing systems. The perception of human visualization permits us to be numerically approximate rather than exact with slight compromise in accuracy. In this paper, we have proposed a digital implementation of 16-point approximate DCT architecture based on Modified Gate Diffusion Input (MGDI) technique. The 8-point DCT architecture can be realized in digital Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) hardware with only 12 additions. The proposed 8-transistor MGDI full adder is used instead of existing 10-transistor MGDI full adder in the DCT architecture. It results in reduced circuit complexity, power and delay. Approximate multiplier-free MGDI DCT is simulated in Tanner SPICE for 90-nm CMOS process technology at 100 MHz. The simulation result shows that 20%, 16% and 7% of area, power and delay are reduced, respectively, when compared with approximate DCT by using 14 additions. The performance was evaluated based on peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and the proposed architecture shows enhancement in terms of hardware complexity, regularity and modularity with a little compromise in accuracy.
