Parallel Adder

n Full Adders

Adds two 4-bit numbers (A₃A₂A₁A₀ and B₃B₂B₁B₀) plus an initial carry-in by chaining four full adders — the Carry-out of each stage feeds the Carry-in of the next.

Stage i: Sumi = Ai ⊕ Bi ⊕ Ci (XOR)  ·  Ci+1 = (Ai · Bi) + (Ci · (Ai ⊕ Bi)) (OR + AND)
Result = A + B + Cin, carried through FA0 → FA1 → FA2 → FA3
