因为串行多位加法器的高位相加时要等候低位的进位，所以速度遭到进位信号的约束而变慢，人们又规划了一种多位数超前进位加法器逻辑电路，使每位求和成果直接承受加数和被加数而不用等候位置进位，而与低位的进位信号无关，这就大大的提高了运算速度。现在简略介绍超前进位的运算办法，以及VHDL可编程逻辑编程。
Library ieee;
Use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
entity CQadd_Co is
port(C0,A1,B1,A2,B2,A3,B3,A4,B4:In std_logic;
S1,S2,S3,S4,Co:out std_logic);
end CQadd_Co;
architecture adder of CQadd_Co is
signal c1,c2,c3,t1,t2,t3,t4,m1,m2,m3,m4:std_logic;
signal P1,P2,P3,P4:std_logic;

t1<=not(A1 AND B1);m1<=not(A1 or B1);
t2<=not(A2 AND B2);m2<=not(A2 or B2);
