The Quartus II Compiler automatically creates carry chain logic during

design processing, or you can create it manually during design entry.

Parameterized functions such as LPM functions automatically take

advantage of carry chains for the appropriate functions.

The Quartus II Compiler creates carry chains longer than 16 LEs by

automatically linking LABs in the same column. For enhanced fitting, a

long carry chain runs vertically, which allows fast horizontal connections

to M4K memory blocks or embedded multipliers through direct link

interconnects. For example, if a design has a long carry chain in a LAB

column next to a column of M4K memory blocks, any LE output can feed

an adjacent M4K memory block through the direct link interconnect.

Whereas if the carry chains ran horizontally, any LAB not next to the

column of M4K memory blocks would use other row or column

interconnects to drive a M4K memory block. A carry chain continues as

far as a full column.
