Carry Look Ahead Adder:
In Carry Look Ahead Adder, using the Carry Look Ahead logic (the additional combinational circuit), the carry bit of each adder is generated at the same time.
In this Look Ahead Carry Adder, each stage of the adder receives the carry bit at the same time. And hence, the speed of the addition is much faster than Ripple Carry Adder.
As the number of bits in the adder circuit increases, the improvement in the speed is more prominent.

Limitation of Carry Look Ahead Adder:
As the number of bits in the adder increases, the cost and the complexity of the design increase.

This video will be helpful to all the students of science and engineering in understanding the Carry Look Ahead Adder (CLA).
