3. Introduction
What are Adders?
•Digital circuits that perform addition of binary numbers.
•Fundamental building blocks of Arithmetic Logic Units
(ALUs) in processors.
•Used in various digital systems like
computers,calculators,and signal processors
•Basic Function : Addition of Binary Numbers.
Importance of Adders :
•Enable computations, memory addressing, and data
manipulation.
•Contribute to the speed and efficiency of digital devices.

4. Types of Adders: Half Adder & Full Adder
❑Half Adder :
Definition : A half adder is a digital circuit that performs binary addition for two input bits and
generates two outputs: the sum (S) and the carry (C). It is called a "half" adder because it does not
consider any carry input from previous addition stages.
➢Adds two binary digits (bits) and generates a sum and a carry bit.
➢Useful for basic addition operations.
❑Full Adder :
Definition : A full adder is a digital circuit that performs the addition of three binary digits: two inputs
(A and B) and a carry input (C_in) from the previous stage. The full adder produces two outputs: the
sum (S) and the carry (C_out). Unlike the half adder, which only considers two bits at a time, the full
adder incorporates the carry input, allowing it to be used in multi-bit addition.
➢Adds three binary digits: two input bits and a carry-in bit.
➢Generates a sum and a carry-out bit.

5. Half Adder : Adds two binary digits (bits) and generates a sum and a carry bit.
Input Bits (A & B): These are two binary digits
to be added.
Sum (S): The sum output is the result of the
addition modulo 2, which is equivalent to the
XOR (exclusive OR) operation on the input bits.
S=A⊕B.
Carry (C): The carry output represents any
carry that must be propagated to the next
higher bit position. In a half adder, the carry
output is the result of the AND operation on the
input bits.
C=A⋅B

❑Construction of Half Adder Circuit
The half adder is designed with the help of the following two logic gates:
1.2-input Ex-OR Gate : 2.2-inputANDGate:

7. Input Bits (A & B & C) :
Logical Expression for SUM:
= A’ B’ C_in+ A’ B C_in’ + A B’ C_in’ + A B C_in
= C_in(A’ B’ + A B) + C_in’ (A’ B + A B’)
= C_in⊕(A ⊕B) = (1,2,4,7)
Logical Expression for C-OUT:
= A’ B C_in+ A B’ C_in+ A B C_in’ + A B C_in
= A B + B C_in+ A C_in= (3,5,6,7)
❑Truth Table & K -Map:
Full Adder : Adds three binary digits: two input bits and a carry-in bit.

8. ❑Full-Adder Block Diagram and Logic Circuit:
Sum (S):
•Perform the XOR operation of input A and B.
•Perform the XOR operation of the outcome with
carry. So, the sum is (A ⊕B) ⊕C_in
Carry (C):
•Perform the 'AND' operation of input A and B.
•Perform the 'XOR' operation of input A and B.
•Perform the 'OR' operations of both the outputs
that come from the previous two steps. So the
'Carry' can be represented as: A.B + (A ⊕B)
❑Construction of Full Adder Circuit
The Full adder is designed with the help of the following three logic gates:
1.2-input Ex-OR Gate : 3.2-inputANDGate:

9. 4 bit Parallel Adder :
A 4-bit parallel adder is a digital circuit designed for the simultaneous addition of two 4-bit binary
numbers. It consists of four full adders working in parallel, each responsible for adding a pair of
corresponding bits from the two input numbers.
❑Key Features:
