The "carry look ripple delay" is eliminated in :

  • A.Parallel adder circuits
  • B.Carry-look-ahead adder circuit
  • C.Full adder circuit
  • D.Haff-adder circuit

Answer: B

The carry ripple delay is eliminated in the carry-look-ahead adder circuit.

In a ripple-carry parallel adder each full adder must wait for the carry from the stage below, so the delay grows with the number of bits. A carry-look-ahead adder computes generate \(G_{i} = A_{i}B_{i}\) and propagate \(P_{i} = A_{i} \oplus B_{i}\) for each bit and then forms every carry directly from them and the input carry:

\[ C_{i+1} = G_{i} + P_{i}C_{i} \]

expanded so that all carries appear after a fixed number of gate delays. An ordinary parallel adder is the ripple-carry circuit that has the delay, and a single full adder or half adder (printed 'Haff-adder') handles one bit and does nothing about ripple.
