Boolean Logic & gate delays
问题 Assuming 2 gate-delays for a Sum or Carry function, estimate the time for ripple-through carry addition for adders with the following word lengths:- i) 4-bit ii) 8-bit iii) 16-bit In my notes I have written: "delay is the word width times each bit stage delay (2 gate delays)". Therefore: i) 2*4 = 8 ii) 2*8 = 16 iii) 2*16 = 32 Looking at the ripple carry adder wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_carry_adder#Ripple-carry_adder The formula used here is different, can anyone
