Using the logical expressions for the carry propagation (P) and carry generation (G) the carry and sum of the adder (1-Bit) is generated. In our project, a 16-Bit Carry Look Ahead Adder is implemented using cadence tool and their Transient and DC responses are analyzed. Ībstract – Carry Look Ahead Adders are also called as fast adders as it reduces the time compared to other adders by propagating carry before the sum output, leads to great performance. ģ.4.5 Final year, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Madurai, Tamilnadu.

Design and Implementation of 16-Bit Carry Look Ahead Adder Using Cadence Tool Module carry_look_ahead_16bit(a,b, cin, sum,cout) Ĭarry_look_ahead_4bit cla1 (.a(a). The carry-lookahead adder calculates one or more carry bits before the sum, which reduces the wait time to calculate the result of the larger value bits.īasic structure of 4-bit Carry Look Ahead Adder is shown below.

It can be contrasted with the simpler, but usually slower, ripple carry adder for which the carry bit is calculated alongside the sum bit, and each bit must wait until the previous carry has been calculated to begin calculating its own result and carry bits (see adder for detail on ripple carry adders). A carry-lookahead adder improves speed by reducing the amount of time required to determine carry bits. For more information about carry look ahead adder you can refer to this wikipedia article.Ī carry-lookahead adder (CLA) or fast adder is a type of adder used in digital logic. So output carry is calculated with combinational logic without waiting for previous carry. But in carry look ahead adder the output carry is function of input bits and initial carry only. In Ripple Carry Adder output carry depends on previous carry. Carry look ahead adder is a fast adder architecture.
