Adder Definition and 46 Threads

I am unsure of how to approach this problem, we begin with two 8-bit full adders, is the goal to just combine them in some way so that it becomes one entire circuit while also adding NAND and NOR gates where necessary? By the end will we then have 16 1-bit full adders?

So i used KCL and both currents are flowing into the node, and then leaving together to go to the resistor R3. So my eq can be seen in the picture. I was looking in a book and they had a minus infront of the parantheses. Is the current flowing from R3 into the node??

Hello, I'm doing a 19 bit adder in Proteus with the 74LS283 IC and I have a problem, I'm adding 1110111000110011010 (487834) with 0001110110001100111 (60519) which the result is 10000101111000000001 (548353) and Proteus doesn't the correct result. It is not taking into account the carry, someone...

Could some one recommend a good kit to build a simple half adder and full adder with breadboard, wires, transistors and diodes? We understand how diodes and transistors work. We may not get beyond the full adder. We really do not want to use a chip at this point because we can not see inside...

Hi all, I am having some troubles deriving the truth table of the following: I don't understand how does one gets to the highlight parts. For example, 10 10, when the carry is low, shouldn't the output be 0 0 1? I fully understand how to add if it is a single bit, but now with 2 bits, it is a...

Greetings, I just wanted to post a 2-bit full adder I have been working on and which I think is my final design. I wanted to ask if there was any way that I could make it with less logic gates? Any advice is appreciated!

Just a quick apology for the long post. Recently I have been looking into digital circuit design and how karnaugh maps can help you simplify a logic table to simple gates. I extended this idea to trying to derive the most efficient full adder design and came up with the following logic table for...

I have designed a full adder circuit, first of all implementing NOT, AND, OR logic, then redesigned NAND logic and finally Programmable Logic Array. I would like to talk evaluate my designs a little and need a bit of help. When using NOT, AND, OR gates I used the following; NOT x 3 = 1...

Hi, I have designed a simple 4 bit adder for adding two 4-bit unsigned integers A and B. The adder consists of a chain of 4 Full-Adders (Ripple-Carry adder). I am wondering if I need to change the circuit when A and B are in 2s complement. I don't think so. Isn't the advantage of 2s...

Hi I already created a 4 bit adder but for my assignment I need an 8 bit one. Is it correct if I design to separate 4bit adders and connect their outputs (Cout) with an AND gate? 4 bit adder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ao60s6dgtrnhal3/4bit%20adder.PNG

I had a cpre exam last night and this was the last question. Can some one tell me the answer, I'm curious if I got it right or not. The part that tripped me up was a 2 bit "half adder". I assumed I wasn't supposed to use a full adder. So I'm not sure what to do with the carry from the first...

Hello, I'm new to logic circuits and I was making a 4 bit binary adder and I thought I could maybe simplify it. However, I can't find anything simpler than what I already got. What I wanted to know is: is my circuit already in its most simple form or am I making something wrong in my attempts to...

If I was to make a modification to an 8 bit full adder to make it a an eight bit full subtractor would I put an inverter at the carry in input for the first full adder and then an inverter on one of each of the two inputs going into each adder. eg an inverter on A3, A2, A1, A0 and leave B3, B2...

Ok, so I am pretty sure I understand this Full Adder diagram fairly well. But I have one question... I included the picture of course. Take a look at R5 1K. What is the purpose of this resistor? Why doesn't current always flow through the 1K R5 resistor rather than going to the 10K R6...

Hi I'm having trouble with coming up with a minimal solution to this problem: create a 8 bit adder/sub using only one 4 bit ripple carry adder and muxes. This is what I'm thinking but I don't know how to make it any bit simpler: We can calculate the sum of first 4 bits using the ripple carry...

Here's a small selection of images I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. The object is a 'comptometer'- a mechanical adder. Mine was given to me by a friend who rescued it from his fabric factory- it's a 1940's model. It mostly works, but there's no way I am skilled enough to take...

Homework Statement I have a book which says that the gate delay for generating Ci is 2 logr(n) + 1, where r is the fan-in for each gate and n is the number of bits. This implies that with a fan-in of 2 and 4 bits, the delay for a generating C5 as shown below should be 5 gate delays. How...

If two 4 bit numbers are being added in the Adder/Subtractor unit e.g. X and Y. Then according to my textbook it is written that the Add/Sub Unit is built in a way that the add/sub signal (which chooses whether to add/subtract) is XOR with Y (the position where the number that is to be...

So, I am trying to design a testbench for 1-bit adder first, I have 3 inputs A, B and Cin with 2 outputs Sum and Cout; would I just have 3 loops, one for each input? thanks.

Can someone please explain this to me.. Once we have a full adder, then we can string eight of them together to create a byte-wide adder and cascade the carry bit from one adder to the next.

A boolean circuit has 4 inputs, a, b, cin and K. when K=0, the circuit is an adder. When K=1, the ciruit is a subtractor. WHere do I start? [?]

Full adder has input A, B and Cin. what is Cin for? Full adder adds 3 bits right?[?] So why not just call the input A,B,C instead of A,B,Cin?
