What Is Meant by Arithmetic Circuits?

Subtractor is a digital circuit used to subtract binary numbers and produce a difference and borrow output. There are two main types: a half subtractor subtracts single bits and produces a difference and borrow, while a full subtractor subtracts three single bits and produces a difference and borrow based on a truth table that is then reduced to difference and borrow equations.

Subtractor : Subtractor is the one which used to subtract two binary number(digit) and

provides Difference and Borrow as a output.In digital electronics we have two types of
subtractor.

1. Half Subtractor
2. Full Subtractor
Half Subtractor :Half Subtractor is used for subtracting one single bit binary digit from
another single bit binary digit.The truth table of Half Subtractor is shown below.

Like Adders Here also we need to calculate the equation of Difference and Borrow for
more details please read What is meant by Arithmetic Circuits?

Difference = A'B+AB'=A B
Borrow=A'B

The logic Diagram of Half Subtractor is shown below.

Full Subtractor : A logic Circuit Which is used for Subtracting Three Single bit Binary digit
is known as Full Subtractor.The Truth Table of Full Subtractor is Shown Below.

From the Truth Table The Difference and Borrow will written as

Difference=A'B'C+A'BB'+AB'C'+ABC
Reduce it like adder
Then We got

Difference=A B C
Borrow=A'B'C+A'BC'+A'BC+ABC
=A'B'C+A'BC'+A'BC+A'BC+A'BC+ABC ----------> A'BC=A'BC+A'BC+A'BC
=A'C(B'+B)+A'B(C'+C)+BC(A'+A)
Borrow=A'C+A'B+BC

The logic diagram of Full Subtractor is Shown below
