This paper presents a comparative study of high-speed and low-voltage full adder circuits. Our approach is based on hybrid design full adder circuits combined in a single unit. A high performance adder cell using an XOR-XNOR (3T) design style is discussed. This paper also discusses a high-speed conventional full adder design combined with MOSCAP Majority function circuit in one unit to implement a hybrid full adder circuit. Moreover, it presents low-power Majority-function-based 1-bit full addersthat use MOS capacitors (MOSCAP) in its structure. This technique helps in reducing power consumption, propagation delay, and area of digital circuits while maintaining low complexity of logic design. Simulation results illustrate the superiority of the designed adder circuits over the conventional CMOS, TG, and hybrid adder circuits in terms of power, delay, power delay product (PDP), and energy delay product (EDP). Postlayout simulation results illustrate the superiority of the newly designed majority adder circuits against the reported conventional adder circuits. The design is implemented on UMC 0.18 μm process models in Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Composer at 1.8 V single-ended supply voltage, and simulations are carried out on Spectre S.

In a very fast growth of very large scale integration (VLSI) technology, it is the demand and necessity of time to achieve a reliable design with low power consumption. The quantum dot cellular automata (QCA), due to its small size, very high switching speed and ultra-low power consumption, can be an alternative for CMOS VLSI technology at nano-scale level. A novel 5-input majority gate for QCA is proposed in this paper which is suitable for designing QCA circuits in a simple and symmetric manner. Based on it, we have designed a full adder with some physical proofs provided for the functions of Boolean techniques to verify the functionality of the proposed devices properly. For computer simulations analysis, functionality of full adder has been checked using the QCADesigner tool. Both simulation results and physical proofs confirm the usefulness of our proposed gate design for designing any digital circuit.
