Digital Design of 16 - Bit Carry Look Ahead Adder ( Circuit + Verilog HDL)

16 Bit Carry Look-ahead Adder:

•  In last blog we discussed about 4 bit carry look-ahead adder - 4 bit Carry Look-ahead Adder
• Connecting four instances of 4-bit carry look-ahead adder will result in a 16 Bit Carry Look-ahead Adder
