Abstract • An 8-bit ALU using a Han-Carlson carry network was designed. It was shown through simulations to operate at a clock frequency of 200MHz, using 25.28mW of Power and requiring an area of XxX mm2
Introduction • An ALU is an important building block in digital systems which carries out the basic arithmetic and logic. • Depending on the supplied control signals, the ALU is designed to carry out the following operations on two 8-bit numbers: ADD, SUB, AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, and many others.

Cost Analysis • Estimated time spent on each phase of the project: • Verifying logic: 8 hours • Verifying timing: 10 hours • Layout: 45 hours • Post extracted timing: 8 hours ___________TOTAL: 71 hours
Lessons Learned • Start early. • Make sure that the overall logic works first (with actual transistors). • Once the overall timing is agreed upon, it’s hard to go back and make changes. • Use cell based design, it’s less confusing. • Save time for troubleshooting.
Summary • An 8-bit ALU which operates at a clock frequency of 200MHz was designed and simulated. • All specifications (clock and power) were met.
