  • Current-mode multi-valued full adder in semiconductor device
    Publication number: 20030212730
    Abstract: A full adder in a semiconductor device, includes a reference current generation unit for generating a reference current, a carry generation unit for generating a threshold current for generating a carry in response to the reference current and for generating the carry by comparing the input current and the threshold current in response to an input current and a sum signal generation unit for outputting a differential sum signal for the input current and the threshold current according to a comparison result of the carry generation unit.

  • Multiplier using MOS channel widths for code weighting
    Publication number: 20030187903
    Abstract: A multiplier includes an input stage to receive input signals to provide currents at a plurality of source nodes. An output stage includes a plurality of transistors groups, each of the transistor groups has a plurality of binary weighted transistor pairs. A select unit selects the binary weighted transistor pairs based on binary code signals so that each transistor pair passes a current from one of the source nodes to either a reference node or a summing node.
