Breadboard
5 Volt DC Power Supply
Theoretical Background:
HALF ADDER:
A combinational circuit that performs the addition of two bits is called a half-adder. This
circuit consists of two binary inputs and two binary outputs. Let the inputs be A & B. The
low order output will be called “S” and it represents the sum, and the high order output
will be called “C”, and it represents the carry out.
Equation for half adder is
FULL ADDER:
A full adder is a combinational circuit that forms the arithmetic sum of three input bits. It
consists of three inputs and two outputs. Two of the input variables represent the two
significant bits to be added. The third input represents the input carry from the previous
lower significant position. The two outputs are sum and carry out. The binary variable S
gives the value of the least significant bit of the sum. The binary variable C gives the
output carry. A full adder can be combined with other full adders or work on its own.
Equation for full adder is
Procedure:
Design the combinational circuit using below circuit diagrams on Breadboard. After
designing both circuits, observe the output and complete the truth table.

2. The half adder produces a **Sum** and a **Carry** value which are both binary
digits.
3. The **half** adder is one that does not take a carry-in from another adder.
Question
