The Dadda multiplier is a hardware binary multiplier design invented by computer scientist Luigi Dadda in 1965. [1] It uses a selection of full and half adders to sum the partial products in stages (the Dadda tree or Dadda reduction) until two numbers are left.
For speed, the "reduce partial product" stages are typically implemented as a carry-save adder composed of compressors and the "compute final product" step is implemented as a fast adder (something faster than ripple-carry). Many fast multipliers use full adders as compressors ("3:2 compressors") implemented in static CMOS.
The sum-output from the second half adder is the final sum output of the full adder and the output from the OR gate is the final carry output (). The critical path of a full adder runs through both XOR gates and ends at the sum bit . Assumed that an XOR gate takes 1 delays to complete, the delay imposed by the critical path of a full adder is ...

A carry-save adder [1] [2] [nb 1] is a type of digital adder, used to efficiently compute the sum of three or more binary numbers. It differs from other digital adders in that it outputs two (or more) numbers, and the answer of the original summation can be achieved by adding these outputs together.
A carry-skip adder [nb 1] (also known as a carry-bypass adder) is an adder implementation that improves on the delay of a ripple-carry adder with little effort compared to other adders. The improvement of the worst-case delay is achieved by using several carry-skip adders to form a block-carry-skip adder.
A conditional sum adder [3] is a recursive structure based on the carry-select adder. In the conditional sum adder, the MUX level chooses between two n/2-bit inputs that are themselves built as conditional-sum adder. The bottom level of the tree consists of pairs of 2-bit adders (1 half adder and 3 full adders) plus 2 single-bit multiplexers.
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 ...
