18 years agoNote this has nothing directly to do with gates. A 6-input XOR gate uses more gates than a 6-input AND gate. Arithmetic mode(using the carry-chain) adds more gates. Control signals to the registers(clock enables, synchronous loads, etc.) adds more gates. You can get in the ballpark with this, but remember that's about it.
