Abstract

In this paper a new self-checking carry select adder is proposed. The duplicated adder blocks which are inherent to a carry select adder without error detection are checked modulo 3. Compared to a carry select adder without error detection the delay of the MSB of the sum of the proposed adder does not increase. Compared to a self-checking duplicated carry select adder the area is reduced by 20%. No restrictions are imposed on the design of the adder blocks.
