In this paper, we propose a new decimal adder on FPGA based on a mixed BCD/excess-6 representation that improves the state-of-the-art decimal adders targeting high-end FPGAs. Using the proposed decimal adder, a multioperand adder and a mixed binary/decimal adder are also proposed. The results show that the new decimal adder is very efficient improving the area and delay of previous state of the art decimal adders, multioperand decimal addition and binary/decimal addition.engDecimal additionParallel additionBinary/decimal additionMultioperand additionExcess-6 codingFPGAjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.micpro.2017.10.004
