Term: BCD (BinaryCoded Decimal)
Definition: A way of encoding decimal numbers in a binary format where each digit is represented by its own binary sequence.
Term: Carry Propagation
Definition: The time delay in addition operations caused by the need for carry bits to propagate through consecutive full adders.
Term: Lookahead Carry Generator
Definition: A circuit design technique that allows for faster binary addition by generating carry outputs in advance based on input values.
Term: HalfAdder
Definition: A basic circuit that adds two single-bit binary numbers, producing a sum and a carry output.
