It's in my syllabus but there's no mention of it in my book. Can someone explain to me what is a Carry Propagate Adder?

Maybe it’s the carry lookahead adder. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry-lookahead_adder – user110971 Oct 24 '19 at 13:04

They're probably using the term to distinguish a standard ripple carry architecture from a "carry look-ahead adder." The look-ahead system is a way to calculate the carry without waiting for it to ripple through a full adder chain.
