Digital Integrated Circuits 2e: Chapter 11.1-11.3 Copyright  2002 Prentice Hall PTR, Adapted by Yunsi Fei Mirror Adder Features n The NMOS and PMOS chains are completely symmetrical with a maximum of two series transistors in the carry circuitry, guaranteeing identical rise and fall transitions if the NMOS and PMOS devices are properly sized. n When laying out the cell, the most critical issue is the minimization of the capacitances at node !C out (four diffusion capacitances, two internal gate capacitances, and two inverter gate capacitances). Shared diffusions can reduce the stack node capacitances. n The transistors connected to C in are placed closest to the output. n Only the transistors in the carry stage have to be optimized for optimal speed. All transistors in the sum stage can be minimal size.
