Use of Carry Chain Logic and Design System Extensions to Construct Significantly Faster and Larger Single-Stage N-Sorters and N-Filters by Robert B. Kent, Marios S. Pattichis

“…Here, product term splitting and a new Sum-of-Products output multiplexer equation are added to the design system, and this expanded design system is then implemented in carry chain logic to build faster and larger N-sorters, and much larger and still fast N-max/N-min filters. The new carry chain N-sorters are implemented in the FPGA used in the Amazon AWS EC2 F1 instance, which is one of the two example FPGAs utilized in the previous publication. …”
