Abstract

This research paper presents an ALU unit using 1.0$\mu$m CMOS technology capable of doing IEEE standard single and double precision floating poing calculation within 32ns (2 clock) at 60 MHz clock speed. This 32ns speed was achieved by using 9ns 1's complement arithmetic 54 bit carry select adder instead of previous 2's complement adders. On the first cycle, this adder is used for addition or subtraction and the second cycle uses this adder for rounding. This reduces the number of required adders from two to one. Speed improvement is 2 to 5 times compared with previous 40MHz design. Design goal was 60MHz, however, this unit is functioning at 80 MHz at room temperature.
