On the last day of the project (March 9), you will be given a new mystery set of test

vectors. Once you have viewed these vectors, you may make no further changes to your

design (including voltage or frequency). Rerun your simulations on the new vectors

without changing anything. Does your design work correctly? What is its energy and

energy × delay product on the new vectors?

Design Review

The adder design review will be held in class on March 10.

Complete PowerPoint slides for your adder in a template to be distributed, and email your

slide to the instructor by 8 am on the day of the review. The slides will include a block

diagram explaining your architecture, a Cadence schematic, and the results: supply

voltage(s), energy (pJ), power (mW), operating frequency (GHz), and energy × delay

product (pJ-ns, on the original and second set of test vectors).

In class, we will group the adders by their architecture and evaluate which ones look best.

You should be prepared to field questions about your design. We will take a critical look

at the most promising designs. This may involve opening the schematic and/or

simulation in Cadence during class. Come ready to ask probing questions about the

designs that may highlight implausible assumptions or erroneous results.

One caveat is that wire capacitance is not considered in this design project, making the

results somewhat optimistic.
