Simulations based on the extracted adder circuit layouts are run to assess how various circuit setups can impact the speed and power consumption. In addition, impacts of output inverters on the circuit performance of modified SERF and 10T adders due to threshold loss problem are also examined. Differences among these adders are addressed and applications of these adders are suggested.展开更多
