Abstract

This paper implements and analyzes logically the Borrow Look-ahead Subtracter using Borrow Generator and Borrow Propagator. In subtracting calculation, we improve the calculating efficiency with using 4-bit subtracter which has Borrow Look-ahead Subtracters connection, and show that this is compatible with adder using the concept of Carry Generator and Carry Propagator. This subtracter may be useful in frequent subtracting calculation. We think this approach makes it possible to implement simple ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit) with combining the concept of Borrow Look-ahead Subtracter and Carry Look-ahead Adder.
