These circuits are high-speed, look-ahead carry generators, capable of anticipating a carry across four binary adders or groups of adders. They are cascadable to perform full look-ahead across n-bit adders. Carry, generatecarry, and propagate-carry functions are provided as shown in the pin designation table. When used in conjunction with the 181 arithmetic logic unit, these generators provide high-speed carry look-ahead capability for any word length. Each DM74S182 generates the look-ahead (anticipated carry) across a group of four ALU's and, in addition, other carry look-ahead circuits may be employed to anticipate carry across sections of four look-ahead packages up to n-bits. The method of cascading circuits to perform multi-level look-ahead is illustrated under typical application data. Carry input and output of the ALU's are in their true form, and the carry propagate (P) and carry generate (G) are in negated form; therefore, the carry functions (inputs, out-
