Suma T. Hegde, Dr. Siva Yellampalli, Nandeesh R . Design and Implementation of ALU Using Redundant Binary Signed Digit. International Conference on VLSI, Communication & Instrumentation. ICVCI, 5 (None 2011), 30-35.
In this paper we present the design of an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) based on Redundant Binary signed Digit (RBSD) Number System. A redundant binary representation is a numeral system that uses more bits than needed to represent a single binary digit because of which most numbers have several representations. This unique feature of RBSD number system allows addition without using a typical carry. The RBSD ALU is designed using VHDL and its RTL view is generated by its FPGA implementation. The FPGA implementation is done in Xilinx ISE environment.
