Determine the worst-case propagation delay of the multiplier in Figure 6-96, assuming that the propagation delay from any adder input to its sum output is twice as long as the delay to the carry output. Repeat, assuming the opposite relationship. If you were designing the adder cell from scratch, which path would you favor with the shortest delay? Is there an optimal balance?
