Ling adder

In electronics, a Ling adder is a particularly fast binary adder designed using H. Ling's equations and generally implemented in BiCMOS. Samuel Naffziger of Hewlett-Packard presented an innovative 64 bit adder in 0.5 μm CMOS based on Ling's equations at ISSCC 1996. The Naffziger adder's delay was less than 1 nanosecond, or 7 FO4.[1]

Equations

Ling adder, architecture Skllansky, radix-2, 4-bit

In Borland Turbo Basic 1.1:

'--- Step 0 ------------ Warning ---------------------------------------
P00 = A0 OR  B0    '1dt, Initial only CLA & Ling Propagate (not in PPA)
G00 = A0 AND B0    '1dt, Initial CLA & Ling & PPA Generate
D00 = A0 XOR B0    '1dt, Only Ling Initial half bit generate (P0 in PPA)

P10 = A1 OR  B1    '1dt
G10 = A1 AND B1    '1dt
D10 = A1 XOR B1    '1dt

P20 = A2 OR  B2    '1dt
