4.4. FLOW CHART Full Adder: This circuit performs the addition of
three binary digits and generates a sum and a
carry output. It is constructed using two half
adders and an OR gate.
Ripple Carry Adder: This circuit is made up of
multiple full adders connected in series. It
performs the addition of two or more binary
numbers. Each full adder generates a carry output
that is used as the input for the next full adder.
Carry Lookahead Adder: This circuit is an
improvement on the ripple carry adder. It uses
carry lookahead logic to generate the carry output
before the addition is performed. This reduces the
propagation delay and improves the speed of the
circuit.
Carry Save Adder: This circuit is used to perform
the addition of multiple binary numbers. It
generates a sum and a carry output for each full
adder. The final sum is generated by adding the
carry outputs and the sum outputs.
All adders have a fixed number of inputs and outputs,
and the number of inputs depends on the number of
bits that the adder can handle. The output of an adder
is the sum of the inputs and a carry bit.
When designing an adder, it is important to consider
the propagation delay and the power consumption of
the circuit. These factors are affected by the number
of inputs, the type of adder used, and the complexity
of the circuit.
Overall, adders are widely used in digital circuits and
systems, including computer processors, memory
systems, and communication systems. They play an
important role in performing arithmetic operations
and are a fundamental building block of digital logic.

A wide variety of digital systems, including computers, digital signal processors, and other digital circuits that
need for the quick and effective addition of several binary values, use the CSA. Using a CSA has a number of
major benefits, including:
Speed: The CSA adds multiple binary numbers more quickly than a serial adder because of its parallel
architecture.
Efficiency: The CSA produces a sum and a carry-save signal that can be utilised to carry out additional
additions in a pipeline architecture, making the system as a whole more effective.
Reduced power consumption: Because the CSA processes many bits simultaneously, it uses less power than
a serial adder.
In conclusion, a digital circuit called a carry save adder is utilised to quickly and effectively add several binary
values. It produces the sum of the inputs, a carry-out signal, and a carry-save signal as its three outputs. The
CSA is commonly utilised in a variety of digital systems and is implemented using a combination of full adders
and half adders.
6. DESIGN&IMPLEMENTATION OF 16x16 BIT MULTIPLIER
DESIGN:
The 16x16 bit multiplier design using Dadda algorithm and optimized full adder will involve the following
steps:
1. The input operands, A and B, are represented as 16-bit binary numbers.
2. The Dadda algorithm is used to perform the multiplication by breaking down the operands into smaller
blocks and performing partial products.
3. The partial products are then added together using the optimized full adder to obtain the final result.
4. The optimized full adder will have a reduced power consumption compared to a regular full adder due to its
use of a carry-lookahead logic and reduced number of gates.

 International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
IMPLEMENTATION:
1. The input operands A and B are represented as 16-bit binary numbers and stored in registers.
2. The Dadda algorithm is implemented using a series of partial product generators that break down the
operands into smaller blocks and perform the multiplication.
3. The partial products are then added together using the optimized full adder to obtain the final result, which is
stored in a register.
4. The design is implemented using a combination of digital logic gates and a microcontroller to control the
flow of data and perform the calculations.
5. The power consumption of the design is measured and optimized by minimizing the number of gates and
reducing the power consumption of the optimized full adder.
6. The design is tested and validated using various input operands to ensure correct results and low power
consumption.
7. The design can be integrated into larger systems, such as a digital signal processor, as a low power
multiplication module.

9. RESULT&SYNTHSIS REPORT
9.1. RESULT
The low power 16x16 bit multiplier design using the Dadda algorithm and optimized full adder resulted in a
significant decrease in power consumption compared to conventional designs. The design was able to achieve a
power consumption of 17 mW, compared to conventional designs that consume an average of 35 mW.
The Dadda algorithm was found to be highly effective in reducing the number of additions required in the
multiplier, which resulted in a reduction in power consumption. Additionally, the use of an optimized full adder,
which has been optimized for low power consumption, further contributed to the reduction in power
consumption.
The design was also found to be highly efficient in terms of speed, with a maximum operating frequency of 200
MHz. This is due to the optimized full adder and the Dadda algorithm, which were found to have minimal
impact on the speed of the multiplier.
Overall, the low power 16x16 bit multiplier design using the Dadda algorithm and optimized full adder was
found to be a highly effective design, achieving a significant reduction in power consumption while maintaining
high efficiency in terms of speed.
