The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for address generation. In one embodiment, an apparatus for an address generation unit of an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) of a microprocessor includes a first carry-propagate adder that adds a lower 16 bits of a constant or displacement and a lower 16 bits of a segment base, and a second carry-propagate adder connected to the first carry-propagate adder, wherein the second carry-propagate adder adds a lower 16 bits of a base and an output of the first 16-bit carry-propagate adder to generate a lower 16 bits of an address. In one embodiment, the first carry-propagate adder and the second carry-propagate adder are each 16-bit carry-propagate adders.
