Full Adder Circuit

A Full Adder is a combinational circuit that performs the arithmetic sum of three input bits. It consists of three inputs and two outputs. Three of the input variables can be defined as A, B, Cin and the two output variables can be defined as S, Cout. The two input variables that we defined earlier A and B represents the two significant bits to be added. The third input Cin represents the carry bit. We have to use two digits because the arithmetic sum of the three binary digits needs two digits. The two outputs represents S for sum and Cout for carry.

For designing a full adder circuit, two half adder circuits and an OR gate is required. It is the simplest way to design a full adder circuit. For this two XOR gates, two AND gates, one OR gate is required. 

Half Adder Circuit

Half adder circuit is essential circuit for computer hardware components. The device which can calculate some integer or floating point wants half adder circuit. It is used for performing mathematical calculation in hardware. In computer, calculator and other counting device use half adder. It is the great invention for the scientists to sum the numbers easily. It consists of a XOR gate and two input pin and output sum and carry. Numbers of n bit are connected serially to add numbers.
