Experiment-5: Aim: Implement 4-Bit Parallel Adder Parallel Binary Adders

A 4-bit parallel adder is constructed using three full adders and one half-adder connected in parallel. The full adders and half-adder each take in bits from two 4-bit numbers to be added and produce sum and carry outputs. The outputs from each block are fed as inputs to the next to generate the final 4-bit sum and carry out. The half-adder handles the least significant bits without a carry in, while the full adders process the remaining bits with consideration of the carry from the previous stage.

Aim: Implement 4- bit Parallel adder


Parallel Binary Adders
a parallel adder is used for adding all bits of the two numbers simultaneously.By connecting a
number of full adders in parallel, n-bit parallel adder is constructed. From the below figure, it is
to be noted that there is no carry at the least significant position, hence we can use either a half
adder or made the carry input of full adder to zero at this position.

The figure below shows a parallel 4 bit binary adder which has three full adders and one halfadder. The two binary numbers to be added are A3A2A1A0 and B3B2B1B0 which are applied to
the corresponding inputs of full adders. This parallel adder produces their sum as C4S3S2S1S0
where C4 is the final carry.

In the 4 bit adder, first block is a half-adder that has two inputs as A0B0 and produces their sum
S0 and a carry bit C1. Next block should be full adder as there are three inputs applied to it.
Hence this full adder produces their sum S1 and a carry C2. This will be followed by other two
full adders and thus the final sum is C4S3S2S1S0.
