Abstract
The elementary adder, as far as carry propagation is concerned, has two circuit branches: the first is an inverter (II) followed by a transfer gate (T1, T2) activated when two operands have opposite logic levels, in which case it transfers complemented input carry Cin to the output CoutN; the second consists of a 4-transistor series cirucit, two P-MOS (T3, T4) and two N-MOS (T5, T6) geenrating carry output CoutN complemented when the two operands have equal logic levels.
