An efficient approach to error detection has been selected through extensive comparisons of several methods that use hardware, time, and hybrid redundancy. Simulation and analysis results are presented to illustrate the adder's timing characteristics, hardware requirements, and error-detection capabilities. One novel feature of the analysis is the introduction of error latency as a means of comparing the error-detection capabilities of several alternative approaches. 收起
