Abstract
This study utilizes the recent development of CMOS transistors to construct an energy-efficient Full adder-based CMOS 4-2 compressor. The CMOS Exclusive-OR-Exclusive-NOR component and multiplexer used in the transmission logic of the novel CMOS compressor include eight transistors. The XOR-XNOR logic style is the most efficient and effective due to its speed and reduced power consumption. Utilizing an operational supply voltage of 0.7 V and 90nm CMOS technology, the Cadence Virtuoso Tool can ascertain three parameters: the Power-Delay Product (PDP) and the maximum output delay. The proposed CMOS 4-2 compressor’s performance was evaluated against existing designs using a 0.7V supply. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements in speed, power consumption, and power-delay product. Compared to traditional 4-2 compressors, the new design offers enhanced efficiency and better overall performance. These enhancements make the proposed compressor more suitable for low-power, high-speed applications, highlighting its potential in modern digital systems. The results confirm its superiority over previous designs in key performance parameters under identical operating conditions.
