Abstract: An adder circuit is provided that generates the sum and sum complement (sum_) signals by constructing the logic in such a way that various levels of both N-type devices and P-type devices are both “on” at the same when that leg is to be open. The logic is then determined by another level and only one P or N type device is on at a given time. For carry and carry complement (carry_) signals a circuit is provided that is symmetrical with respect to P and N devices. The carry and carry_ signals are generated by inputting the complement signals to the same circuit used to generate the carry signal. The symmetrical P and N type devices are complementary in that associated devices are on or off with respect to each other. Both the carry and carry_ signals are concurrently output. The symmetric nature of the static, dual rail, simultaneous, sum and carry circuits will improve switching performance and minimize the floating body effect that can be found in silicon on insulator (SOI) devices.

Abstract: A compressor circuit suitable for use in an arithmetic unit of a microprocessor includes a first stage, a second stage, a carry circuit, and a sum circuit. The first stage is configured to receive a set of four input signals. The first stage generates a first intermediate signal indicative of the XNOR of a first pair of the input signals and a second intermediate signal indicative of the XNOR of a second pair of the input signals. The second stage configured to receive at least a portion of the signals generated by the first stage. The second stage generates first and second control signals where the first control signal is indicative of the XNOR of the four input signals and the second control signal is the logical complement of the first signal. The carry circuit is configured to receive at least one of the control signals and further configured to generate a carry bit based at least in part on the state of the received control signal.

The logic is then determined by another level and only one P or N type device is one at a given time. For carry and carry complement (carry_) signals a circuit is provided that is symmetrical with respect to P and N devices. The carry and carry— signals are generated by inputting the complement signals to the same circuit used to generate the carry signal. The symmetrical P and N type devices are complementary in that associated devices are on or off with respect to each other. Both the carry and carry— signals are concurrently output. The symmetric nature of the static, dual rail, simultaneous, sum and carry circuits will improve switching performance and minimize the floating body effect that can be found in silicon on insulator (SOI) devices.
