| Abstract | This thesis describes the adder to be used with the Galaxy computer, which is to be constructed at Oregon State University. The need for faster, more reliable adders is discussed along with previous adder designs related to the Galaxy Fast Carry Adder. Both the logical design and circuit design of the Galaxy Fast Carry Adder are discussed. Operating speed measurements for a 3 bit adder are presented and used to predict operating speeds of a 49 bit adder. Reliability considerations are discussed, and a set of worst case resistor value calculations is included as an appendix. The use of the adder circuit in the Galaxy computer is also discussed. |
