Arithmetic Logic Unit is the brain of all processors, is composed of an Adder circuit. The main component of multiplier circuits is the adder, which performs subtraction (by 2’s complement arithmetic). Since the most fundamental operation in mathematics is addition, and the adder is the most essential part of the processor, the study of VLSI arithmetic has required many digital VLSI researchers. When designing digital systems employing the VLSI approach, the digital adder plays a major role. Low power VLSI based adder designs perform poorly because of the propagation delay issue. With the aid of the PPA design, an assessment of adders’ availability for low power VLSI designs with minimal propagation delay is conducted. Using these performance measures, this study compares and evaluates the performance of several parallel prefix adders, allowing readers to select the optimum adder architecture for their application Specific Integrated Circuits implementations. The three adder topologies taken into considered in this Article include the Han carlson adder, Brent kung, Kogge stone adders. Xilinx ZYNQ XC7Z020 (7000 series) SoC is used to implement the adders using the Vivado Design Suite 2014 and Verilog.
