A new asynchronous early output block carry lookahead adder (BCLA) incorporating redundant carries is proposed. Compared to the best of existing semi-custom asynchronous carry lookahead adders (CLAs) employing delay-insensitive data encoding and following a 4-phase handshaking, the proposed BCLA with redundant carries achieves 13 and 14.8 featuring redundant carries with no area or power penalty. A hybrid variant involving a ripple carry adder (RCA) in the least significant stages i.e. BCLA-RCA is also considered that achieves a further 4 latency and a 2.4 featuring redundant carries without area or power penalties.
