Abstract
A high speed arithmetic processor and adder circuitry thereof are disclosed in which carry (borrow) propagation is never more than one digit. Addition (or subtraction) are performed by: (a) determining an intermediate carry (or borrow) at the i-th order position and an intermediate sum (or difference) at the i-th order position from the addend (or subtrahend) and the augend (or minuend) and (b) determining the sum (or difference) of the intermediate sum (or difference) at the i-th order position and the intermediate carry (or borrow) at the (i-1)-th or next-lower-order position. Logic equations, truth tables and circuitry are disclosed for implementing several embodiments of the invention.
