The figure below shows the
full-adder block of a binary adder circuit. Cᵢ is the input carry and Cᵢ₊₁ is the output carry of the circuit. Assume that each logic gate has a delay of 2 nanosecond, with no additional time delay due to the interconnecting wires. If the inputs Aᵢ, Bᵢ are available and stable throughout the carry propagation, the maximum time taken for an input Cᵢ to produce a steady-state output Cᵢ₊₁ is ______ nanosecond.
