I have found a solution to my problem, I can do what you described above but need 2-input AND gates to drive each stage and still use my 4-bit Adder ICs. Thank you for your help!
Thank you for your feedback, but the IC's I am using (74HC283) do not have an enable pin, so that solution won't work, I should have listed that before.
EDIT: Do you know any 4-bit adder ICs with an enable on it? That would be very helpful.
Hey Everyone,
I want to design an 8-bit Multiplier, using 4-bit Adders. I created a Ripple Carry Multiplier using 16 4-bit adders, but after debugging realized it doesn't work. I got this schematic off of a 4-bit multiplier i saw online, but can't find the link to it anymore.
Here is the...
