A Half Adder

A half adder is useful for adding LSB.

Limitation of a Half Adder

A half-adder does not account for carry-in.

A+B can be derived from the ∑half of the half adderThe sum of Cin and ∑full can be derived from an XOR gate!

Perhaps this suggests that I need another half adder!

Derivation of the Carryout Bit of a Full Adder

• Since the Co bit in a half adder is generated by an AND gate, let’s AND ∑HA and Cin and see what we get!

Cin∙∑half generates partially correct Co.So far, we have not used information from the output of the half adder.So let’s use Co,half in the full adder circuit….

A 3 bit parallel adder

• Since it is only possible to show magnitude witha binary number, the sign (+) or (-) is shown by adding an extra “sign” bit.– A sign bit of 0 indicates a positive number.– A sign bit of 1 indicates a negative number.
