The paper presents new compact static 4-bit CMOS adders based on itera
tive shared transistor carry lookahead (CLA) units. The CLA units have
a regular, fast, simple and multioutput static structure with a small
number of transistors. Designs made in 1.0 mu m CMOS technology show
that these adders reduce the silicon area and improve the timing and d
ynamic power performance compared with similar static adders.
