Half Adder and Full Adder

Design and Implementation of Half Adder and Full Adder.

Theory & Concepts

Click to collapse detailed explanation

1. Half Adder

A Half Adder is a combinational circuit that performs the addition of two binary bits. It has two inputs (A, B) and two outputs (Sum, Carry).

Sum = A ⊕ B (XOR)
Carry = A · B (AND)

2. Full Adder

A Full Adder adds three binary bits: two operands (A, B) and a carry bit (Cin) from a previous stage.

Sum = A ⊕ B ⊕ Cin
C-out = (A · B) + (Cin · (A ⊕ B))

Procedure

1

Connect inputs A and B for Half Adder.

2

Apply inputs to the Full Adder including the Cin.

3

Verify the Sum and Carry outputs against the truth table.
