Title: Half- Adders and Full- Adders

 EEB603: Digital Electronics Lab: 06

Aim: To test the operation of half- adders and full adders.

Introduction:
An adder is digital logic circuit in electronics that implements addition of numbers. In many
computers and other types of processors, adders are used to calculate addressers, similar operations
and table indices in the ALU and also in other parts of the processors. These can be built for many
numerical representations like excess-3 or binary coded decimal. Adders are classified into two types:
half adder and full adder. The half adder circuit has two inputs: A and B, which add two input digits and
generate a carry and sum. The full adder circuit has three inputs: A, B and C, which add the three input
numbers and generate a carry and sum. [1] https://www.elprocus.com/half-adder-and-full-adder/

Materials:
 DC Power Supply
 Resisters ( 2 x 270Ω and 3 x 1k Ω )
 2 x LED
 1 x 74LS86- Quad 2 input EXOR gate
 1 x 74LS08- Quad 2 input AND gate
 1 x 74LS32- Quad 2 input OR gate
 DIP Switch
 Cutter, Long Nose Pliers
 Breadboard & Connecting Wires
 Logic Probe

Procedure:
The circuit was connected as shown in Figure 01 and the output of the circuit for all the possible
input combination was recorded. The same step was repeated for circuit in Figure 02.

Discussion:
1. Show you will connect full adders in order to add 1010 and 1011. Use block diagram to
represent the full adders and clearly indicate all the input and output values on the circuit itself.
Also indicate the MSB and LSB bits for the output.

Conclusion:
To conclude, it can be said that half adder adds two binary digits and produces two outputs as sum
and carry; XOR is applied to both inputs to produce sum and AND gate is applied to both inputs to
produce carry. The full adder adds 3 one bit numbers, and produces 2 bit output, these can be referred
to as output carry and sum.
