Abstract

A computational unit is disclosed to increment or decrement n-bits of data. The unit has n/3 logic blocks to process the n-bits of data, each logic block including: first and second multiplexers to propagate a carry chain; and first, second and third exclusive-OR (XOR) circuits coupled to the carry chain of the multiplexers to generate a 3-bit incremented output.
