Introduction
The topic of the course project is to design a 4-bit adder in the standard 0.25 um CMOS Technology.
The main objectives of the project is to minimize the total delay of the adder (i.e. the worst case delay of
the circuit), the area used to implement the adder, and its average power consumption. That in mind,
the team was able to split the project into 2 phases: the research phase and the simulation phase. In the
research phase, the team had to compare different adder architectures clearly defining the advantages
and disadvantages of each one in terms of area and delay to be able to choose what could be the most
efficient adder architecture for the design of a 4-bit adder. Another essential task in the research phase
was to decide on the gate level implementation of the circuit, compare the different logic
families’implementations for each gate, and finally decide on the proper logic family implementation for
each gate in light of the project objectives stated beforehand. Once the research phase was
accomplished, the team had to move on to the simulation phase. In the simulation phase, the team had
to design each gate separately and optimize it to achieve the optimum delay and
powerconsumption,thensimulate a 1-bit full adder, and finally simulate the whole 4-bit adder. The
simulation phase concludes the project by estimating the worst case delay of the 4-bit adder design and
the average power consumption of the circuit.

Procedure
1) Connect the circuit in fig 2-1.Using 0= 0 V dc and 1= +5V dc, verify that the circuit will
perform the exclusive-OR function by completing the truth table. 2) Connect the circuit in fig 2-
2.Using 0= 0 V dc and 1= +5V dc, verify that the circuit will perform the exclusive-OR function
by completing the truth table. 3) Connect the half-adder circuit in fig 2-3b.Using 0= 0 V dc and
1= +5V dc, construct a truth table for this circuit by applying the inputs A and B as shown in
table 3 and record the resulting sum and carry output measured.
4) Use the exclusive-OR gates to construct the full-adder in Fig 2-4a. Construct its truth table
using the same procedure as in step1. For each input, record the sum and carry output of each
half- adder as well as the OR-gate output.
Full-Adder
A full-adder is a logic circuit having 3 inputs A,B and C ( which is the carry from the previous
stage) and 2 outputs (Sum and Carry), which will perform according to table 3. The full-adder
can handle three binary digits at a time and can therefore be used to add binary numbers in
general.
The simplest way to construct a full adder is to connect two half- adder and an OR gate as
shown in Fig 2-4. The full-adder is then the fundamental logic circuit incorporated in digital
computers to perform arithmetic functions.
