Abstract

A high-speed, low-power 1-bit adder includes a combination of current-mode switches connected in a dual tree configuration in series with respective constant current sources and summing resistors. Input operand signals select particular tree paths, thereby controlling the voltage appearing across the summing resistors and sum and carry output drivers responsive to these voltages.
