AI Thread Summary
Full adders are essential components in binary addition, allowing the addition of one bit from two binary numbers along with a carry-in, resulting in a sum bit and a carry-out. Users express difficulty in finding comprehensive resources on full adders and 4-bit computers, indicating a lack of in-depth online information. One recommended resource is a specific website dedicated to 4-bit computers, while Wikipedia is also suggested for foundational knowledge on full adders. Emphasis is placed on understanding the logic behind full adders and their construction using logic gates rather than focusing solely on physical components like transistors. Overall, there is a clear need for more accessible educational materials on these topics.

Where to find sources on "Full Adders"

Ok. So I have been reading and watching this stuff on 4 bit computers. I understand how to read binary code however I am having trouble with the concept of the "full adder"


This is what I have been reading
first off

Does anyone know of a better more in depth source for learning about 4 bit computers and full adders and transistors? I would really like to learn more, but information online is highly lacking.

This is the site i have been using

A full adder is a piece of logic. It adds one bit of a binary number to the corresponding bit of another binary number along with any Carry in. The result is the Sum bit and a Carry out.

If I were you, I would first worry about how the logic works and how you would build a full adder outa gates, not physical devices like transistors.

Maybe this is useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_adder
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
