The document discusses different types of arithmetic circuits used in VLSI systems such as half adders, full adders, ripple carry adders, carry look-ahead adders, and multipliers.

The different types of adders discussed include ripple carry adders, carry look-ahead adders, carry skip adders, carry select adders and carry save adders.

Carry look-ahead adders predict carry signals in advance to reduce delay by using propagate and generate signals to determine carry signals before they are needed.

Half-Adder Circuits

Consider two binary digit x and y, and the binary


sum is denoted by x + y such that
0+0=0
0 +1 =1
1+ 0 =1
1 + 1 = 10

(12.1)
Figure 12.1 Half-adder
symbol and operation

A half-adder has 2 inputs (x and y) and 2 outputs


(the sum s and the carry-out c)
s = x y
c = x y
