Lookahead Carry Unit - 64-bit Adder

64-bit Adder

By combining 4 CLAs and an LCU together creates a 16-bit adder. Four of these units can be combined to form a 64-bit adder. An additional (second-level) LCU is needed that accepts the propagate and generate from each LCU and the four carry outputs generated by the second-level LCU are fed into the first-level LCUs.
