Abstract

This paper explores various low power higher order compressors such as 4-2 and 5-2 compressor units. These compressors are building blocks for binary multipliers. Various circuit architectures for 4-2 compressors are compared with respect to their delay and power consumption. The different circuits are simulated using HSPICE. A new circuit for 5-2 compressor is then presented which is 12% faster and consumes 37% less power.
