Reverse Converter Design via Parallel-Prefix Adders: Novel Components, Methodology, and Implementations

 In this brief, the implementation of residue number system reverse converters based on well-known regular and modular parallelprefix adders is analyzed. The VLSI implementation results show a significant delay reduction and area × time2 improvements, all this at the cost of higher power consumption, which is the main reason preventing the use of pa...

Pre-charge-Free, Low-Power Content-Addressable Memory

 Content-addressable memory (CAM) is the hardware for parallel lookup/search. The parallel search scheme promises a high-speed search operation but at the cost of high power consumption. Parallel NOR- and NAND-type matchline (ML) CAMs are suitable for high-search-speed and low-power-consumption applications, respectively. The NOR-type ML CAM require...
