Yes and no. The ripple carry adder is one type of parallel adder. Other parallel adder types include the pipelined parallel adder and the carry look-ahead adderamongst others.
The parallel adder which we use in the digital circuits ,the carry output of each full adder stage is connected to the carry input of the next higher order stage.therefore,the sum and carry outputs of any stage cannot be produced until the input carry occurs; This leads to a time delay in the addition process.This delay is known as carry propagation delay. to the second question the propagation delay can be avoided in the binary parallel adder with the help of look ahead carry generator .............................................................................................................................
binary coded decimal counter with carry propagated bit to bit by ripple method instead of carry lookahead combinatorial logic method. this is easy to build but has long settling time with invalid codes occurring before it settles. for example these counters will generate a 1010 code between 1001 and 0000.
A ripple carry adder needs a much less complicated circuit, than other adder topologies.

Each full adder inputs a Cin, which is the Cout of the previous adder. This kind of adder is a ripple carry adder. Al-firoz hossainCE-07002MBSTU.Bangladesh.
It is a digital circuit that produces the arithmetic sum of two binary number .It can be constructed with the full adders connected in cascade,with the output carry from each full adder connected to the input carry of the next full adder in the chain.
It is a counter. A negative input pulse increments counter by one with binary output.
A binary parallel adder is a digital function that produces arithmetic sum of two binary numbers in parallel. It consists of full-adder combinational arrangement thus, the output carry from one full adder connected to the input carry of next full- adder.
You use a look ahead carry adder to reduce the propagation delay effects caused by the ripple carry that would otherwise be used. With ripple carry, each stage is dependent on the preceding stage, and this is cumulative. With look ahead carry, the carries are computed in parallel, speeding up the overall process.
An adder is a digital circuit used to perform addition of binary numbers. It takes two binary numbers as inputs and produces a sum as output. There are different types of adders such as half adder, full adder, and ripple carry adder.

A parallel adder is a binary adder that can possibly form sum and carry the outputs for addend and augend words that operate on corresponding pairs addend and augend bits in parallel.
A full adder takes two inputs plus carry in and produces one output plus carry out. You need four full adders to add two 4 bit words. (No half adders required.)Or: for the lowest bit you can use a half-adder (no input carry).

Do you mean :- how to get full adders by using half-adders? For this question refer following answer - A full-adder can be obtained by combining two half-adders and one or gate. Details on full-adder and half-adder can be referenced from following link http://www.fullchipdesign.com/fulladder.htm
