Abstract :
A novel way of implementing the leading zero detector (LZD) circuit is presented. The implementation is based on an algorithmic approach resulting in a modular and scalable circuit for any number of bits. This implementation is compared with the results obtained using modern logic synthesis (LS) tools in the same 0.9-μm CMOS technology. This approach to LZD design yields both speed and area advantages over LS
