HA2 1/2 a Given is the following circuit. The input a is added in the first adder and subsequently in the second adder after multiplication by ½. 4 s + + 4 We assume both adders are implemented with carry ripple adders. Every signal in this example contains 4 bits and represents the delay of the carry of the full adder. The delay of the sum output equals 2. 1. Draw a bitlevel representation of this circuit. 2. How long is the critical path ? 3. What is the smallest possible critical path that can be be obtained by pipelining or retiming ? What is the minimal number of flipflops ? 4. Can this circuit be speeded up by transformations ? How long is the critical path ? What is the minimal number of flipflops ? jvm
