Single-bit Adder Circuits and Multi-bit Adder Circuits
[attachment=47616]
Implementations of Multi-bit Adders:
1. Ripple Carry Adder
2. Carry Lookahead Adder
Ripple Carry Adder
n-bit Ripple Carry Adder
Composed of n 1-bit Full Adders
Carries ripple from LSB stage to MSB stage
Delay ~ (n)*(delay of single FA stage)
Area required is linear in n
4-bit Ripple Carry Adder
Composed of 4 1-bit Full Adders
