- **Area**: All implementations use similar transistor counts (~40-48)
- **Speed**: Carry lookahead optimized for fast carry propagation
- **Modularity**: Half adder implementation most modular
- **Complexity**: Simple XOR/AND easiest to understand

## Technology Considerations

### Standard Cell Mapping

All implementations map to standard cell library:
- AND, OR, XOR, XNOR gates
- AND-NOT gates for optimized logic
- Compatible with most CMOS processes

### Power Considerations

- **Static Power**: Minimal (combinational logic)
- **Dynamic Power**: Proportional to switching activity
- **Clock Power**: Only for clock/reset signals (minimal)
