STUDENT PROJECT

CAD LAB for Electronics

Submission date: 10th APRIL, 2011

WHAT REALLY IS THIS PROJECT ALL ABOUT?

This project compares two styles of Carry look-ahead adder implementation

in CMOS technology. Adder adds two 4-bit binary numbers.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO?

(a) Implement the given equations in CMOS.

(b) Do proper sizing of the implemented circuits

(c) Verify (by Simulating) the resulting circuit using LTspice.

(d) Calculate delay (worst-case) and average power consumption.

(So you see, you are going to learn many new things!)

WHAT YOU HAVE TO USE?

(a) 50nm BSIM MOSFET Models (download it from

http://cmosedu.com/cmos1/cmosedu_models.txt , or get it from me).

(b) LTspice

STYLE -I (FOR SECTION A STUDENTS ONLY)

Gk = Ak Bk (1a)

Pk = AK + Bk (1b)

Co, 3 =G3+P3 [G2+P2 {G1+P1(G0+P0Ci,0)}] (2a)

Co,2 =G2+P2{G1+P1(G0+P0Ci,0)} (2b)

Co,1 =G1+P1(G0+P0Ci,0) (2c)

Co,0 =G0+P0Ci,0 (2d)

Here, Ci,0 is input carry bit.

Example: To implement Co, 3 in CMOS, first Implement P3, G3,P2,G2 … etc. Please notice that each of PK and GK are
just OR & AND function. Now use these PK and GK to implement Co, 3 .

STYLE-II (FOR SECTION B STUDENTS ONLY)

Her e you don’t need to generate P and G signals. Directly implement using A & B signals.

Co,3 =A3B3 +(A3 +B3 )[A2B2 +(A2 +B2 ){A1B1 +(A1 +B1 )(A0B0 +(A0 +B0 )Ci,0 )}]

(3a)

Co, 2 =A2B2 + (A2 +B2) {A1B1 + (A1 +B1)(A0B0 +(A0 +B0 )Ci,0 )}

(3b)

Co, 1 = {A1B1 + (A1 +B1) (A0B0 + (A0 +B0) Ci, 0 )} (3c)

Co, 0 =A0B0 + (A0 +B0) Ci, 0 ) (3d)

NOTE:

In both the styles, Pull up network (PUN) & Pull down network (PDN) will be same (generally

they are dual).This is due to special property these equations have gotten: inverting all the inputs

inverts the output.

How to make group:

 Roll No 1-5 will implement eqn 2(a), Roll No 6-10 will implement eqn 2(b) and
so on. As there are only four eqns so the student should cycle through (rotate).

A similar statement holds true for section B student who are supposed to
implement Eqn 3.
