ABSTRACT
The purpose of the assignment entitled as HALF ADDER AND FULL ADDER is to
understand the concept of half adder and full adder that what they works, how they works, what
are their definitions, how many inputs/outputs both they have and how many half adder are
required to make full adder.

METHODOLOGY

WORKING:
Half Adder circuit uses 2 ICs one is 7486 XOR gate IC and the other one is
7408 AND gate IC. Both ICs have four gates in them. These ICs have 14 no pin for Vcc.
1,2,4,5,8,9,11 and 12 no pin is for inputs . 3,6,10 and 13 no pin is for getting output and 7 no pin
is a ground pin. In Half Adder two input were given to XOR GATE in the form of 1,0 logic and
the same inputs were given to AND GATE the output of XOR gate gives us the SUM and the
AND GATE output gives us the carry.
Full Adder circuit also uses these ICs but also use one additional IC 7432 OR gate IC have same
pin configuration. In Full Adder we give input A and B to both 1 st AND GATE and XOR GATE
than output of XOR gives as input to the second XOR and Carry in as input to 2 nd XOR GATE
and output of AND GATE gives as input of 2nd AND GATE and give the same carry in as input
of 2nd AND GATE the output of both 2nd AND gate gives as an input of OR GATE. The output of
OR GATE shown as a carry and the output 2nd XOR GATE shown as an SUM.

What is Half Adder and Full Adder?

HALF ADDER:
In half adder, two bits are being added to produce sum and output carry.

FULL ADDER:
In full adder, two bits and carry in bit are being added to produce sum and
output carry.

How they works, how many inputs/ outputs they have and
how many half adder required to make full adder?
Half Adder have two binary inputs and two binary outputs. Let the inputs be A & B. The first
order output will be called S because it represents the sum and the high order output will be
called C, because it represents the carry output.
Full Adder have three binary inputs and two binary outputs. Two of the input variables represent
the two significant bits to be added. The third input represents the carry input from the previous
lower significant position. Sum and carry out performs same operation in half adder, but here it
add the three binary inputs.
Two half adders are required to make full adder.

RESULTS
In half adder, if we gives input of (1,1), (1,0), (0,1) then LED will be on and if we gives input of
(0,0), then LED will off.

In full adder, if we gives input and carry in of(1,1,1), (1,1,0), (1,0,1) then LED will be on and if
we gives input and carry in(0,0,0) then LED will be off.

CONCLUSION

I have successfully completed the assignment report and also I have also verified the concept that
what is the importance of half and full adder in the digital world.
