16 bit adder


Is there any adder architecture that supports this ? ..
if so, is there a Synopsys DW that implements it ? ..

if you want to use two 8-bit adders, you use the adder with carry bit.
1, lower 8 bits add together. get the low carry bit
2, higher 8 bits add with the low carry bit. the result will be 17bit if you care the carry.

Does this work with signed numbers ??

Did you design it through RTL coding or schematics ?
