Abstract
An adder circuit includes a Manchester-carry-chain circuit which propagates a carry signal for each block consisting of plural bits, and a carry-look-ahead circuit which selects said carry signal in response to a carry propagation signal being generated by a full adder, and when the carry signal is not generated in the two consecutive blocks, an output from the Manchester-carry-chain circuit is selected by the carry-look-ahead circuit, so that the carry signal being inputted to the low-order block of the two blocks can be propagated as the carry signal to be outputted from the high-order block.
