I. Introduction
The core of every microprocessor, digital signal processor (DSP), and data processing application
like specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is its data path. At the heart of data-path and addressing units in
turn are arithmetic units, such as comparators, adders, and multipliers. Finally, the basic
operation found in most arithmetic components is the binary addition. Computations needs to be
performed using low- power, area-efficient circuits operating at greater speed. Addition is the most
basic arithmetic operation; and adder is the most fundamental arithmetic component of the processor.The
design criterion of a full adder cell is usually multi-fold. Transistor count is, of course, a primary
concern which largely affects the design complexity of many function units such as multiplier and
algorithmic logic unit (ALU). The limited power supply capability of present battery technology has
made power consumption an important figure in portable devices.There is no ideal full adder cell that can
be used in all types of applications [4]. Hence novel architectures such as CMOS Transmission Gate
(TG), Pass-Transistor Logic (PTL), Complementary Pass-transistor Logic (CPL) [5],Dual rail
domino logic[14] and Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) [6] are proposed to meet the requirements. Each
design style has its own share of advantages and disadvantages. Gate Diffusion Input and Dual rail
domino logic is a low power design that reduces transistor count. But the major problem of GDI is that it
requires twin well CMOS or silicon on insulator (SOI) process for fabrication [11]. Thus GDI
chips are more expensive. These logic styles and their combinations (Hybrid) are commonly used in
designing full adder cells.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section II describes the truth table and equation.
Section III elaborates the different types of full adder circuits. Section IV and V are followed by schematic
diagram of full adder and simulation result. Finally, section VI concludes the work.
II. Truth Table And Equation
Addition is a fundamental operation for any digital system, digital signal processing or control
system. A fast and accurate operation of a digital system is greatly influenced by the p e r f o r m a n c e
of the resident adders because of their extensive use in other basic digital operations such as
subtraction, multiplication and division.
The conventional logic equation for Sum and Carry are [3]: Sum = C ex-or (A ex-or B)
Carry = (A and B) or C(A ex-or B)
III. Different Types of Full Adder Circuits
In this section the different types of full adder circuits are discussed.
A. Conventional 28T CMOS Full Adder Circuit
The conventional CMOS [14] adder cell using 28 transistors based on standard CMOS topology
is shown in fig.1. Due to high number of transistors, its power consumption is high. Large PMOS](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/a01130109-140429005716-phpapp02/85/Comparative-Analysis-of-Different-Types-of-Full-Adder-Circuits-1-320.jpg)

transistor in pull up network result in high input capacitances, which cause high delay and dynamic
power. One of the most significant advantages of this full adder was ts high noise margins and thus
reliable operation at low voltages.
B. 14 T Full Adder Circuit
The 14T full adder contains a 4T PTL XOR gate, shown in Fig. 3, an inverter and two
transmission gates based multiplexer designs for sum and Cout signals[11]. This circuit compared with
the previous 10-transistor full adders and the conventional 28-transistor CMOS adder [13].
F. Transmission Gate Full Adder Circuit
20 T transmission produces buffered outputs of proper polarity for both sum and carry. (Fig.3).
In this circuit 2 inverters are followed by two transmission gates which act as 8-T XOR. Subsequently
8-T XNOR module follows. To has 4 transistor XOR which in the next stage is inverted to produce
XNOR. These XOR and XNOR are used generate sum; cin and Cin are multiplexed
which can simultaneously to generate sum and cout. The signals cin controlled either by (a b) or (a
⊗ b).Similarly the cout can be calculated by multiplexing a and cin which is controlled by (a)and Cin are
multiplexed which can controlled either by (a b) b). The power dissipation in this circuit is more than the
28T or (a ⊗ b). Similarly the cout can be calculated by
multiplexing a and cin controlled by (a b). The power
dissipation in this circuit is more than the 28T adder. However with same power consumption it performs
faster [4].
C. 8 T Full Adder Circuit
The basic of 8T full adder consists of 3 modules: 2 XOR elements and a Carry section as shown in
fig.5.The Sum output is obtained by two XOR blocks in succession. For the carry section GDI based
2TMUX is used and (A XOR B) as the selection signal. The Sum and the Cout module need 6 and
2 transistors respectively. The transistor level implementation
of the eight transistor full adder is shown in Fig. 8. It is obvious from the figure that both Sum
and Cout has a maximum delay of 2T. It doesn’t suffer from threshold voltage loss problem.
Also the noise margin has been substantially increased by proper sizing of transistors in 3T XOR.
The power delay product (PDP), and the area of the proposed adder are also found better than that of
the existing
10T and 14T adders. Higher power consumption due to short circuit current.
D. 12T Full Adder Circuit
MB12T [15] has been implemented using six multiplexers and 12 transistors. Each multiplexer
is implemented by pass- transistor logic with two transistors. As shown in Fig. 10, there is no VDD
or GND connection in this circuit and there are some paths containing three serried transistors. It causes to
increase delay of producing SUM signal. The size of each transistor in mentioned path should be
three times larger to balance the output and optimize the circuit for PDP. Therefore, the area of the circuit
is increased.
E. ADDER 9A AND 9B
The Static Energy Recovery XNOR gate is cascaded with the new G-XNOR gate to generate the
Sum while the Cout function is implemented by simply multiplexing B and Cin controlled by (A
XNOR B) as done in the previous circuits. (Fig 7 and 8). These two new adders consistently consume
less power in high frequencies and have higher speed adder. However with same power
consumption it performs faster [8].
G. Static Energy Recovery Full Adder Circuit
In the 10T adder cell, the implementation of XOR and XNOR of A and B is done using pass
transistor logic and an inverter is to complement the input signal A. This implementation results in
faster XOR and XNOR outputs and also ensures that there is a balance of delays at the output of these
gates. This leads to less spurious SUM and Carry signals (Fig 6). The energy recovering logic reuses
charge and therefore consumes less power than non-energy recovering logic.
Advantage: It should be noted that the new SERF adder has no direct path to the ground. The elimination
of a path to the ground reduces power consumption. The charge stored at the load capacitance is](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/a01130109-140429005716-phpapp02/85/Comparative-Analysis-of-Different-Types-of-Full-Adder-Circuits-2-320.jpg)

reapplied to the control gates. The combination of not having a direct path to ground and the re-
application of the load charge to the control gate makes the energy-recovering full adder an energy
efficient design[12].
Disadvantage: The circuit produces full-swing at the output nodes. But it fails to provide so for the
internal nodes. As the power consumption by the circuit reduces the circuit becomes slower. Also it cannot
be cascaded at low power supply due to multiple threshold problems [12].
H. GDI Structure Based Full Adder Circuit
A new low power design technique that solves most of the problems known as Gate-Diffusion-
Input (GDI) is proposed. This technique allows reducing power consumption,
propagation delay, and area of digital circuits. A basic GDI cell contains four terminals – G (common
gate input of nMOS and pMOS transistors), P (the outer diffusion node of pMOS transistor), N (the outer
diffusion node of nMOS transistor), and D (common diffusion node of both transistors).GDI method is
based on the use of a simple cell as shown in figure 2. At the first look the design is seems to be like
an inverter, but the main differences are 1) GDI consist of three inputs- G (gate input to NMOS/PMOS), P
(input to source of PMOS) and N (input to source of NMOS). (2) Bulks of both NMOS and PMOS are
connected to N or P (respectively), so it can be arbitrarily biased at contrast with CMOS inverter.This
design can implement a wide variety of logic functions using only two transistors. This method is suitable
for design of fast, low-power circuits, using a reduced number of transistors ,while improving
logic level swing and static power characteristics and allowing simple top-down design by using small
cell library(Fig. 12).
I.Dual Rail Domino Full Adder Circuit
Dual-Rail Domino Logic is a precharged circuit technique [7] which is used to improve the
speed of the CMOS circuits. Figure.10 shows a Dual-Rail Domino full adder cell. A domino gate
consists of a dynamic CMOS circuit followed by a static CMOS buffer. The dynamic circuit consists
of a pMOSFET precharge transistor and an nMOSFET evaluation transistor with clock signal (CLK) applied
to their gate nodes, and an nMOSFET logic block which implements the required logic function.[1] During
the precharge phase (CLK=0) the output node of the dynamic circuit is charged through the
precharged PMOSFET transistor to supply voltage level. The output of the static buffer is discharged to
ground. During evaluation phase (CLK=1) the evaluation nMOSFET logic block, the output of the
dynamic circuit is either discharged or it will stay precharged. Since in dynamic logic every output node
must be precharged every clock cycle, some nodes are precharged only to be immediately discharged
again as the node is evaluated, leading to higher switching power dissipation.One major advantage
of dynamic, precharged design styles over the static styles over the static styles is that they
eliminate the spurious transitions and the corresponding power dissipation.[5][7] Also, dynamic
logic doesn’t suffer from short-circuit currents which flow in static circuits when a direct path from power
supply to ground is caused. However, in dynamic circuits, additional power is dissipated by the
distribution network and the driver of the clock signal. Schematic of Dual-Rail domino full adder
circuit is as shown in Fig.(9).
J. Conventional Dynamic Full Adder Circuit
The conventional dynamic full adder cell [1] has 16 transistors and is based on NP-CMOS
logic style (Fig. 10).

Different Types of Full Adder Circuits In this section the different types of full adder circuits are discussed. A. Conventional 28T CMOS Full Adder Circuit The conventional CMOS [14] adder cell using 28 transistors based on standard CMOS topology is shown in fig.1. Due to high number of transistors, its power consumption is high. Large PMOS

One of the most significant advantages of this full adder was ts high noise margins and thus reliable operation at low voltages. B. 14 T Full Adder Circuit The 14T full adder contains a 4T PTL XOR gate, shown in Fig. 3, an inverter and two transmission gates based multiplexer designs for sum and Cout signals[11]. This circuit compared with the previous 10-transistor full adders and the conventional 28-transistor CMOS adder [13]. F. Transmission Gate Full Adder Circuit 20 T transmission produces buffered outputs of proper polarity for both sum and carry. (Fig.3). In this circuit 2 inverters are followed by two transmission gates which act as 8-T XOR. Subsequently 8-T XNOR module follows. To has 4 transistor XOR which in the next stage is inverted to produce XNOR. These XOR and XNOR are used generate sum; cin and Cin are multiplexed which can simultaneously to generate sum and cout. The signals cin controlled either by (a b) or (a ⊗ b).Similarly the cout can be calculated by multiplexing a and cin which is controlled by (a)and Cin are multiplexed which can controlled either by (a b) b). The power dissipation in this circuit is more than the 28T or (a ⊗ b). Similarly the cout can be calculated by multiplexing a and cin controlled by (a b). The power dissipation in this circuit is more than the 28T adder. However with same power consumption it performs faster [4]. C. 8 T Full Adder Circuit The basic of 8T full adder consists of 3 modules: 2 XOR elements and a Carry section as shown in fig.5.The Sum output is obtained by two XOR blocks in succession. For the carry section GDI based 2TMUX is used and (A XOR B) as the selection signal. The Sum and the Cout module need 6 and 2 transistors respectively. The transistor level implementation of the eight transistor full adder is shown in Fig. 8. It is obvious from the figure that both Sum and Cout has a maximum delay of 2T. It doesn’t suffer from threshold voltage loss problem. Also the noise margin has been substantially increased by proper sizing of transistors in 3T XOR. The power delay product (PDP), and the area of the proposed adder are also found better than that of the existing 10T and 14T adders. Higher power consumption due to short circuit current. D. 12T Full Adder Circuit MB12T [15] has been implemented using six multiplexers and 12 transistors. Each multiplexer is implemented by pass- transistor logic with two transistors. As shown in Fig. 10, there is no VDD or GND connection in this circuit and there are some paths containing three serried transistors. It causes to increase delay of producing SUM signal. The size of each transistor in mentioned path should be three times larger to balance the output and optimize the circuit for PDP. Therefore, the area of the circuit is increased. E. ADDER 9A AND 9B The Static Energy Recovery XNOR gate is cascaded with the new G-XNOR gate to generate the Sum while the Cout function is implemented by simply multiplexing B and Cin controlled by (A XNOR B) as done in the previous circuits. (Fig 7 and 8). These two new adders consistently consume less power in high frequencies and have higher speed adder. However with same power consumption it performs faster [8]. G. Static Energy Recovery Full Adder Circuit In the 10T adder cell, the implementation of XOR and XNOR of A and B is done using pass transistor logic and an inverter is to complement the input signal A. This implementation results in faster XOR and XNOR outputs and also ensures that there is a balance of delays at the output of these gates. This leads to less spurious SUM and Carry signals (Fig 6). The energy recovering logic reuses charge and therefore consumes less power than non-energy recovering logic. Advantage: It should be noted that the new SERF adder has no direct path to the ground. The elimination of a path to the ground reduces power consumption. The charge stored at the load capacitance is

The combination of not having a direct path to ground and the re- application of the load charge to the control gate makes the energy-recovering full adder an energy efficient design[12]. Disadvantage: The circuit produces full-swing at the output nodes. But it fails to provide so for the internal nodes. As the power consumption by the circuit reduces the circuit becomes slower. Also it cannot be cascaded at low power supply due to multiple threshold problems [12]. H. GDI Structure Based Full Adder Circuit A new low power design technique that solves most of the problems known as Gate-Diffusion- Input (GDI) is proposed. This technique allows reducing power consumption, propagation delay, and area of digital circuits. A basic GDI cell contains four terminals – G (common gate input of nMOS and pMOS transistors), P (the outer diffusion node of pMOS transistor), N (the outer diffusion node of nMOS transistor), and D (common diffusion node of both transistors).GDI method is based on the use of a simple cell as shown in figure 2.

This method is suitable for design of fast, low-power circuits, using a reduced number of transistors ,while improving logic level swing and static power characteristics and allowing simple top-down design by using small cell library(Fig. 12). I.Dual Rail Domino Full Adder Circuit Dual-Rail Domino Logic is a precharged circuit technique [7] which is used to improve the speed of the CMOS circuits. Figure.10 shows a Dual-Rail Domino full adder cell. A domino gate consists of a dynamic CMOS circuit followed by a static CMOS buffer. The dynamic circuit consists of a pMOSFET precharge transistor and an nMOSFET evaluation transistor with clock signal (CLK) applied to their gate nodes, and an nMOSFET logic block which implements the required logic function.[1] During the precharge phase (CLK=0) the output node of the dynamic circuit is charged through the precharged PMOSFET transistor to supply voltage level. The output of the static buffer is discharged to ground. During evaluation phase (CLK=1) the evaluation nMOSFET logic block, the output of the dynamic circuit is either discharged or it will stay precharged. Since in dynamic logic every output node must be precharged every clock cycle, some nodes are precharged only to be immediately discharged again as the node is evaluated, leading to higher switching power dissipation.One major advantage of dynamic, precharged design styles over the static styles over the static styles is that they eliminate the spurious transitions and the corresponding power dissipation.[5][7] Also, dynamic logic doesn’t suffer from short-circuit currents which flow in static circuits when a direct path from power supply to ground is caused. However, in dynamic circuits, additional power is dissipated by the distribution network and the driver of the clock signal. Schematic of Dual-Rail domino full adder circuit is as shown in Fig.(9).

Conclusion From the analysis of the above various type of Full Adder Circuits. It can be concluded that the average power is low for Dual Rail Domino Logic type Full adders and Average Delay is low for TG Based Full Adder as well as for Dual Rail Domino Logic type Full adders. But the Power Delay Product is low for Dual Rail Domino Logic type Full adders Full Adders is the heart of any digital and data processing application like specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is its data path. At the heart of data-path and addressing units in turn are arithmetic units, such as comparators, adders, and multipliers. Finally, the basic operation found in most arithmetic components is the binary addition. Addition is the most basic arithmetic operation; and adder is the most fundamental arithmetic component of the processor. This paper presents the implementation of various type of Full Adders using MOSFET and concluded that the dual rail domino logic based full
