    摘要: A carry circuit having a power-save mode and a method for reducing power consumption of an integrated circuit are described. A power-save input is selected for control select signaling. A voltage level input is selected as an initial carry input. The initial carry input is propagated through a carry stage responsive to the carry input and the control select signaling. The carry stage is placed in a first non-switching steady state mode responsive to the propagating of the initial carry input through the carry stage.
