Circuit Description

This is the actual carry-lookahead block of the full carry-lookahead adder. It takes two sets of propagate and generate inputs as well as one carry in input, and calculates one set of propagate and generate signals as well as two carry out signals. For the theory of operation see the description in Hennessy and Patterson.
