This paper presents an improved 32-bit conditional sum adder. Due to architectural modification, the improved adder only selects and transmits carry signals; it therefore is named conditional carry adder (CCA). This 32-bit adder focuses on reducing the num-bers of internal nodes and logical gates, while maintaining high speed. The 32-bit condi-tional sum adder uses 186 multiplexers, and the proposed 32-bit CCA only uses 129 multiplexers. Consequently, the proposed adder is attractive for use in low-power arith-metic systems. Conventional single-end static CMOS and differential-end CPL circuits were used to implement and compare the proposed 32-bit CCA. Experimental and con-trol chips were designed and fabricated using 0.5£gm CMOS technology. Simulations and measurements under various supply voltages showed that the 32-bit CCA achieved high performance in low-voltage high-speed applications.
