Abstract
A methodology for energy-delay optimization of digital circuits is presented. This methodology is applied to minimizing the delay of representative carry-lookahead adders under energy constraints. Impact of various design choices, including the carry-lookahead tree structure and logic style, are analyzed in the energy-delay space and verified through optimization. The result of the optimization is demonstrated on a design of the fastest adder found, a 240-ps Ling sparse domino adder in 1V, 90nm CMOS. The optimality of the results is assessed against the impact of technology scaling.
