%0 Journal Article %T Low Power 4-2 Compressor for Arithmetic Circuits %A Ms. Riya Garg %A Mrs. Suman Nehra %A Prof. B. P. Singh %J International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering %D 2013 %I IJRTE %X Most of the VLSI circuits used adders as a crucial portion, since they form the base element of all arithmetic functions. Increasing demand for portable equipments requires area and power efficient VLSI circuits. This paper presents 4-2 compressor using two different 8T full adder designs. The aim of this paper is to reduce the power consumption of 4-2 compressor without compromising the speed and performance. All pre-layout and post-layout simulations have been performed at 45nm technology on Tanner EDA tool version 12.6 and compared in terms of power consumption, power-delay product (PDP) over various input voltages, temperatures and frequencies. %K 2T (2 transistors) %K 3T %K 8T and PDP. %U http://www.ijrte.org/attachments/File/v2i1/A0507032113.pdf
