A partial full adder, with propagate and generate outputs. Logic gate implementation of a 4-bit carry lookahead adder. A block diagram of a 4-bit carry lookahead adder. For each bit in a binary sequence to be added, the carry-lookahead logic will determine whether that bit pair will generate a carry or propagate a carry.

VHDL source for a signed adder. VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is a hardware description language that can model the behavior and structure of digital systems at multiple levels of abstraction, ranging from the system level down to that of logic gates, for design entry, documentation, and verification purposes.
An example of a 4-bit Kogge–Stone adder is shown in the diagram. Each vertical stage produces a "propagate" and a "generate" bit, as shown. The culminating generate bits (the carries) are produced in the last stage (vertically), and these bits are XOR'd with the initial propagate after the input (the red boxes) to produce the sum bits. E.g., the first (least-significant) sum bit is ...
4-bit adder with logical block diagram shown Decimal 4-digit ripple carry adder. FA = full adder, HA = half adder. It is possible to create a logical circuit using multiple full adders to add N-bit numbers. Each full adder inputs a , which is the of the previous adder. This kind of adder is called a ripple-carry adder (RCA), since each carry ...
Breaking this down into more specific terms, in order to build a 4-bit carry-bypass adder, 6 full adders would be needed. The input buses would be a 4-bit A and a 4-bit B, with a carry-in (CIN) signal. The output would be a 4-bit bus X and a carry-out signal (COUT). The first two full adders would add the first two bits together.
While 4-bit computing is mostly obsolete, 4-bit values are still used in the same decimal-centric roles they were developed for, and modern implementations are generally much wider and process multiple 4-bit values in parallel. An example of such a system is the HP Saturn design of the 1980s. By the 1990s, most such uses had been replaced by ...
