The sum output (A'B + AB') is 1 if either A is 1 and B is 0, or A is 0 and B is 1. The Carry output (AB) is 1 only if both A and B are 1.

A combinational circuit that adds three binary inputs (A, B, and Carry In) and produces a sum and carry output.

Full Adder Output: Sum

The sum output of a full adder results from the XOR operation of the three inputs (A ⊕ B) ⊕ Cin, representing the binary sum of the three inputs.

Full Adder Output: Carry

The carry output of a full adder is determined by the OR operation of two terms: 1. The AND operation of input A and B (A.B), representing a carry from adding A and B. 2. The XOR operation of the previous two inputs (A ⊕ B), representing a potential carry from the addition of A, B and the previous carry (Cin).

Half Subtractor Output: Borrow

The borrow output in a half subtractor is calculated as A'B, indicating whether a '1' was borrowed from the higher place value digit. The borrow bit is '1' when the input A (minuend) is '0' and the input B (subtrahend) is '1'.
