ABSTRACT:
An adder circuit is disclosed having an improved carry lookahead arrangement. The number of carry lookahead stages required is log n, where n is equal to the number of bits in the adder. This arrangement has fanout limit based on the number of sets of propagate and generate signals which can be combined at each bit location of each stage. For example, if two-way merge circuits are used to combine two sets of signals together, then the maximum fanout from the previous stage would be limited to two (2). If four-way merge circuits were used, then the fanout would be limited to four (4). This low fanout is achieved without increasing the number of stages by overlapping the groups that are combined in each step.
