    Abstract: A method and apparatus for compensating for current-change induced voltage changes is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital throttle unit coupled to an instruction pipeline may generate a compensating current signal, which may then cause a dummy load to consume a compensating current. In another embodiment, a counter responsive to changes in clock frequency may generate a ramp current signal, which may then cause a dummy load to consume a current corresponding to the ramp current signal.

    Abstract: An N-bit conditional sum adder comprised of a number of 2-bit adders coupled in series. The 2-bit adders have a sum generation circuit which computes two sum bits from two 2-bit inputs. Each sum bit is processed by a maximum of two multiplexers in series for factoring any carry-ins from preceding 2-bit adders, regardless of the total number of N bits to be added. A carry generation circuit generates two carry signals. The appropriate carry signal is selected for propagation by a multiplexer comprised of a number of p-n passgates. The two carry signals plus their complements are first buffered before being input to the multiplexer. The multiplexer outputs the appropriate carry signal and its complement to be input to a succeeding 2-bit adder and for controlling a succeeding multiplexer selection.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a fast parity bit generator using 4-bit XOR cells implemented using complement pass-transistor logic. For 2.sup.2n inputs, where n is an arbitrary positive integer, the parity bit is generated in n stages using only ##EQU1## 4-bit XOR cells. For 2.sup.2n+1 inputs, where n is an arbitrary positive integer, the parity bit is generated using ##EQU2## 4-bit XOR cells disposed in n rows and one 2-bit XOR cell disposed in the last row. The speed of operation of the XOR cells is further enhanced by using NMOS transistor logic within the XOR cells.
