Abstract

See full text

A carry select adder may be used in which carry inputs to ripple adder stages are not fixed. The adder stage determines which of the two ripple adders of that stage has output the correct sum while the variable carry input is equal to a given value. Then the variable carry input value is switched to a different value and the adder stage determines the correct output sum from the other ripple adder. The adder performs self-checking by comparing these two sums to ensure that the output sum is accurate.
