Parallel binary adder having grouped stages including dynamic logic to increase carry propagation speed

摘要

A binary adder circuit is described using dynamic transistor logic in which for high speed carry propagation the adder stages are grouped in pairs or larger numbers and additional dynamic logic means is provided in each group to control a single transistor connected in series in the carry propagation path over the group. The transistors used in the specific embodiments are MOS transistors, but some or all of these could be replaced by junction FET's or bipolar transistors.
