Half Adder and Full Adder Explained

A half adder and full adder are types of adders used in digital circuits. [1] A half adder accepts two binary inputs and produces two outputs: a sum bit and a carry bit. [2] A full adder accepts three binary inputs - two input bits and an input carry - and produces two outputs: a sum bit and an output carry. [3] The main difference is that a full adder has an additional input for the carry which allows it to be chained to add more than two bits.

What is Adder?

Adder : In electronics an adder is digital circuit that


perform addition of numbers. In modern computer
adder reside in the arithmetic logic unit (ALU).
Adders :
 Adders are important not only in the computer but
also in many types of digital systems in which the
numeric data are processed.

Types of adder:

Half adder

Full adder
Half adder : The half adder accepts two binary digits
on its inputs and produce two binary digits outputs, a
sum bit and a carry bit.

 The half adder is an example of a simple, functional


digital circuit built from two logic gates. The half
adder adds to one-bit binary numbers (AB). The
output is the sum of the two bits (S) and the carry (C).
 Note that how the same two inputs are directed to
two different gates. The inputs to the XOR gate
are also the inputs to the AND gate. The input
"wires" to the XOR gate are tied to the input wires
of the AND gate; thus, when voltage is applied to
the A input of the XOR gate, the A input to the
AND gate receives the same voltage.
Full adder : The full adder accepts two inputs bits and
an input carry and generates a sum output and an
output carry.

 The full-adder circuit adds three one-bit binary numbers


(Cin, A ,B) and outputs two one-bit binary numbers, a sum
(S) and a carry (Cout). The full-adder is usually a
component in a cascade of adders, which add 8, 16, 32,
etc. binary numbers.
 If you look closely, you'll see the full adder is simply two half
adders joined by an OR.
 We can implement a full adder circuit with the help of two
half adder circuits. The first half adder will be used to add A
and B to produce a partial Sum. The second half adder
logic can be used to add CIN to the Sum produced by the
first half adder to get the final S output. If any of the half
adder logic produces a carry, there will be an output carry.
Thus, COUT will be an OR function of the half-adder Carry
outputs.

What is the difference between
half adder and a full adder circuit?
 The main difference between a half-adder and a full-
adder is that the full-adder has three inputs and two
outputs. The first two inputs are A and B and the third
input is an input carry designated as CIN. When a full
adder logic is designed we will be able to string eight
of them together to create a byte-wide adder and
cascade the carry bit from one adder to the next.
 The output carry is designated as COUT and the
normal output is designated as S.
