Abstract
An adder circuit includes a number of selectors and an adder. The selectors feed the adder with multiple input data bits. Each of the selectors includes a combination of a multiplexing network and a sense amplifier to select from a number of input values to generate the multiple input data bits. The combination of the multiplexing network and the sense amplifier acts as the state-holding element at the input of the adder, avoiding the overheads of an explicit latch stage.
