The document discusses a new modified square root carry select adder (sqrt-csla) architecture designed to reduce carry propagation delay in 16-bit adders, achieved by integrating a binary excess-1 converter (BEC) for improved efficiency. This innovative approach results in lower power consumption and fewer gates compared to traditional carry select adders using dual ripple carry adders (RCA). Simulation results indicate enhanced performance metrics, with the modified sqrt-csla achieving a notable reduction in overall delay and power requirements.
