4-bit Ripple Carry Adder
Build a 4-bit ripple carry adder from full adder components using a structural VHDL description with a generate statement.
Constraints
- Structural style - instantiate full adders, do not write a + b.
- Use a for-generate loop.
- Carry chain must be explicit.
- Include carry-in and carry-out ports.
- Also output an overflow flag for signed operands.
- Full adder must be a separate entity.
