Abstract

Low-power and high-speed calculation is very important nowadays for energy-efficient demand of electronic devices. With the usage of ANT (All-N-transistor) logic, the speed constraint caused by PMOS transistors can be overcome through an auxiliary current path across NMOS transistors. This study presents a 800-MHz 28.8-mW 8-bit carry look-ahead adder (CLA) using ANT logic implemented on chip. FinFET technology is utilized to improve carrier mobility and increase device speed. R-C parasitic capacitance in FinFET devices is considered in the analysis of the delay time for the 8-bit CLA to improve PDP (power-delay product). The proposed design is implemented in 16-nm FinFET process with core area of 206.403 \(\times \) 152.506 \(\upmu \)m\(^2\). It has the lowest normalized PDP at 60 pF load by far.
