HALF SUBTRACTOR III PHYSICS – 10.03.2022 Dr.R.Hepzi Pramila Devamani, Assistant Professor of Physics, V.V.Vanniaperumal College for Women, Virudhunagar.
Half Subtractor The half subtractor is a combinational circuit which is used to perform subtraction of two bits. It has two inputs X (minuend) and Y (subtrahend) and two outputs D(difference) and Bout (borrow out). The symbol and truth table for half subtractor is shown in figure. The difference output is 0 if X = Y and 1 if X ≠ Y. The borrow output Bout is 1 whenever X is less than Y, then subtraction is done by borrowing 1 from the next higher order bit.
Half Subtractor
Half Subtractor The Boolean expression for difference (D) and borrow out (Bout) can be written as
Full Subtractor The full subtractor is a combinational circuit which is used to perform subtraction involving three bits. It has two inputs X (minuend) and Y (subtrahend) and the borrow from the previous stage and two outputs D(difference) and Bout (borrow out). The symbol and truth table for half subtractor is shown in figure . The full subtractor can be implemented using two subtractors and an OR gate shown in figure.
