Abstract:
An adder circuit can be fabricated within an integrated circuit (IC) and can be configured to draw a sum output node to a voltage proportional to a sum of received N-bit binary numbers. The adder circuit includes sets of N inputs that receive N-bit binary numbers, each set of N inputs indexed by an integer bit number “n.” The adder circuit includes sets of scaled capacitors, each capacitor connected to an n th  input of the corresponding set of N inputs and to the sum output node. Each scaled capacitor has a capacitance equal to 2 (n) *a unit capacitance (C UNIT ). The adder circuit includes a reference capacitor connected to ground and the sum output node, and a reset circuit configured to draw, in response to a received RESET signal, the sum output node to ground.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of operating an adder circuit that uses charge-scaling to add two binary numbers, the method comprising:\n resetting the adder circuit by drawing to ground, with a reset device of the adder circuit, a sum output node of the adder circuit; receiving, with a first set of inputs of the adder circuit, a first binary number; receiving, with a second set of inputs of the adder circuit, a second binary number; and drawing, with first and second sets of scaled capacitors of the adder circuit electrically connected to the first and second sets of inputs, respectively, a sum output node of the adder circuit to a voltage proportional to a sum of the first and second binary numbers.
