Abstract
Various aspects of a system and method to process data in an adder based circuit, such as an integrated circuit, are disclosed herein. In accordance with an embodiment, a first addend is encoded as a first unary number. The first unary number comprises a token bit. A second addend is encoded as a second unary number. A first shift operation is performed on the token bit in the first unary number based on the second unary number. The first shift operation is performed to generate an output unary number. The generated output unary number is decoded to a number representation that corresponds to the number representation of the first addend and/or the second addend. The decoded number representation indicates a summation of the first addend and the second addend.
