ABSTRACT

In this paper a new adder structure is proposed for FPGA and reconfigurable fabrications. The

proposed adder can be easily scaled to carry out many add/sub operations at a time. Hence, the

instruction level parallelism (ILP) will be increased. VHDL simulation has carried out to select

the best adder type that satisfies the area cost and delay time requirements. The simulation

results reveal that the adder which generated by the VHDL synthesis tools works more efficient

than the other types of adders. So, the proposed adder is constructed from subadders generated

by the synthesis tools. The proposed adder is partitioned to small subadders that are

interconnected using MUXs and control signals.

The proposed adder has different modes of operation depending on the operands bit width. A

small circuit has been added to the instruction decoding circuit to detect the operands bit width

and then generate the suitable control signal to select the appropriate adder operation mode.

The evaluation results reveal that the proposed adder attains higher ILP at small operands bit

width. The performance of the proposed adder has been enhanced by 212% than that of the

formal fast adder.
