Abstract: Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is the most significant unit of any computing system be it microprocessors, embedded structures or any other computational device. This paper presents delay, power, area and energy optimization of a novel 4-bit Arithmetic logic unit created with the help of a newly designed 9T full adder unit and Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) technique. This novel ALU architecture is made by using a full adder which has only 9 transistors and various multiplexers. To analyze the simulations Cadence Virtuoso tool is used. As per simulation results, delay, power, area and total energy of the ALU design is improved. In this proposed design of 4-bit ALU, delay is reduced by 10.17%. power is reduced by 8.05%. PDP is reduced by 18.20% and transistor count is reduced by 17.82 %.
Keywords: Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), Cadence Virtuoso tool, Gate Diffusion Input (GDI), Power Delay Product (PDP).
