Our results

We used this gate setting.

Here is our Truth Table.

Here are all our 71 results.

Version 1. Fast carry look-ahead version:

This our version of 1 bit full adder circuit outperforms the AMD XILINX Vivado version in several key areas:
  • it reduces power consumption by 1.52 times,
  • improves delay (performance) by 1.78 times,
  • decreases area requirements by 1.32 times,
  • cuts gate count by 1.16 times,
  • reduces transistor count by 1.24 times,
  • and lowers wire usage by 1.06 times.


Version 2. Minimum area and power:

Version 3. Fastest version:
