Abstract
An adder unit for a microprocessor, being capable, in response to a first control signal, of adding two full word data values, stored in a first storage location and in a second storage location, respectively, and being capable, in response to a second control signal, of adding in parallel four half word data values, a first half word data value and a second half word data value being stored in the first storage location at the low half and the high half thereof, respectively, and a third half word data value and a fourth half word data value being stored in the second storage location at the low half and the high half thereof, respectively. The adder unit includes a first half word adder, arranged so as to add the first half word and the third half word to provide a first sum output of the adder unit, and a first carry out signal. The adder unit also includes a second half word adder arranged so as to add the second half word and the fourth half word, with a carry-in of 0 to provide a second sum output. The adder unit also includes a third half word adder arranged so as to add the second half word and the fourth half word, with a carry-in of 1 to provide a third sum output. Finally, the adder unit includes logic responsive to the first and the second control signals such that when the first control signal is present and the first carry-out signal is a 0, the logic provides the second sum output as a second sum output of the adder, to be concatenated with the first sum output of the adder, but, when the first control signal is present and the first carry-out signal is a 1, the logic provides the third sum output as a second sum output of the adder, to be concatonated with the first sum output of the adder. On the othe hand, when the second control signal is present, the logic provides the second sum output as a second sum output of the adder.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
