Abstract: The design of high-speed and power-efficient arithmetic units is a critical requirement in modern VLSI systems, especially for applications requiring accurate decimal computations such as financial processing and digital signal processing. This paper presents the design and performance analysis of a multi-digit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) adder using the Brent–Kung Adder (BKA) architecture. The proposed design utilizes a parallel prefix structure to optimize carry propagation, thereby reducing logic depth and improving overall performance. The architecture is implemented using Verilog HDL and evaluated for different digit configurations. A comparative analysis is carried out with the conventional Carry Lookahead Adder (CLA) based BCD adder in terms of delay and power consumption. The results demonstrate that the proposed BKA-based BCD adder achieves a significant reduction in propagation delay and power usage. Specifically, delay is reduced by approximately 32% for lower digit configurations and around 22% for higher digit designs. Similarly, power consumption is reduced by up to 10% compared to the existing CLA-based approach. These improvements are mainly attributed to the efficient carry computation mechanism and reduced logic complexity of the Brent–Kung architecture. Furthermore, the proposed design exhibits better scalability with increasing digit size, making it highly suitable for high-performance and low-power VLSI applications.
