Study Notes
Full Adder Setup on Breadboard
- Components Needed: Breadboard, XOR gates (IC 7486), AND gates (IC 7408), OR gates (IC 7432), LEDs, resistors, power supply (5V), and connecting wires.
- Power and Ground Connection: Initiate by connecting the breadboard's power and ground rails to a 5V supply.
-
XOR Gates for Sum Calculation:
- Connect inputs A and B to the first XOR gate producing the intermediate sum A ⊕ B.
- Feed this output into a second XOR gate along with the carry-in (Cin) to generate the final Sum (S).
-
AND Gates for Carry-out:
- Connect A and B to an AND gate to create the first carry-out term.
- Also, connect the output of the first XOR gate and Cin to a second AND gate for the additional carry-out term.
- OR Gate for Final Carry-out: The outputs from both AND gates are combined into an OR gate to obtain the final Carry-out (Cout).
- Visual Output with LEDs: Use LEDs connected with resistors to show results for both Sum and Carry-out outputs.
- Testing Functionality: Alter inputs A, B, and Cin to observe LED responses, ensuring the full adder works correctly.
Half Adder Setup on Breadboard
- Components Required: XOR gate (IC 7486), AND gate (IC 7408), LEDs for output display, resistors, wires, and a 5V power supply.
- Power and Ground Setup: Connect the 5V power supply to the breadboard's corresponding rails.
-
XOR Gate for Sum:
- Input A and B into the XOR gate to compute the Sum, represented as A ⊕ B.
- Connect the output to an LED via a resistor for visual feedback.
-
AND Gate for Carry: Connect A and B to the AND gate to generate the Carry, represented as A ∧ B.
- This output is also connected to an LED for display purposes.
- Testing Functionality: Toggle inputs A and B to observe the corresponding LED indicators for both Sum and Carry, confirming correct operation of the half-adder circuit.
General Explanation
- XOR Gate Function: Calculates sum as A ⊕ B in both full and half adder setups.
- AND Gate Function: Computes carry as A ∧ B, essential in determining the carry-out in both circuits.
