Logic behind the look ahead adder

Logic Behind Lookahead Adder Problem: Understand and explain the logic behind the look ahead adder. Why is the look ahead adder important, what benefit does it have on the adder circuit. The look ahead adder has many benefits that allows for faster circuit speed over the full adder. The full adder, was created in a way that required a delay to find the outcome of the two inputs to see if a carry out was …

…one, which can be sent to the next adder for faster comparison. The main problem lies within the input. The carry will be either a one or zero, which can be passed depending if either input is a 1. However, at least two gates will be needed to compare the input. Regardless, the look ahead adder is an improvement on the full adder and I am sure there will be continued improvements for years to come.
