Half adders and full adders are basic digital circuits used to perform binary addition. A half adder can add two single-bit numbers using an XOR and AND gate. A full adder can add two bits and a carry bit from a previous addition using two half adders and an OR gate. The document describes how to construct both half adders and full adders using logic gates along with providing truth tables.

“To construct half adder and full adder using combination circuit “
Adder:
An adder is a digital electronic circuit that performs addition of two binary numbers. It is one of the
fundamental building blocks of digital circuits and is used in a variety of applications, such as in
computers and other digital systems. There are different types of adders, including half adders, full
adders.

Half Adder:

A half adder is a basic adder that can add two single-digit binary numbers.

Half Adder circuit:

Truth Table:

Full Adder:

A full adder can add two single-digit binary numbers as well as a carry input from a previous addition.

Full Adder Circuit:


Full Adder Truth:

Construction of Half Adder:

To construct a half adder, you will need two inputs, A and B, and two outputs, S and C. The circuit can be
built using two logic gates: an XOR gate and an AND gate.

1. Connect the A and B inputs to the two input terminals of the XOR gate.
2. Connect the output of the XOR gate to the S output terminal.
3. Connect the A and B inputs to the two input terminals of the AND gate.
4. Connect the output of the AND gate to the C output terminal.

Construction of Full Adder:


To construct a full adder, you will need three inputs, A, B, and C<sub>in</sub>, and two outputs, S and
C<sub>out</sub>. The circuit can be built using a combination of logic gates, including two half adders
and an OR gate.

1. Connect the A and B inputs to the two input terminals of the first half adder.
2. Connect the C<sub>in</sub> input to the carry input terminal of the first half adder.
3. Connect the output terminals of the first half adder to the input terminals of the second half adder.
4. Connect the carry output terminal of the first half adder to the carry input terminal of the second
half adder.
5. Connect the output terminals of the second half adder to the input terminals of the OR gate.
6. Connect the output of the OR gate to the C<sub>out</sub> output terminal.
7. The output of the second half adder will be the S output.

Conclusion:

We learned about adder. The construction of full adder and half adder, and binary number addition.
