 Procedure(homework) :

a) Design using LogicWorks a half adder circuit using only XOR gates and NAND gates. Then during
the Lab construct the circuit and verify its operation.

b) Design using LogicWorks a full adder circuit using only XOR gates and NAND gates. Then during
the Lab construct the circuit and verify its operation.

c) Use IC 7483 to add the two 4-bit numbers A and B shown in Table1. In LogicWorks, select
the chip 74-83 and use Binary switches for the bits of the two numbers and the input carry and
use Binary Probe for the sum and carry out.

 d) Connect the adder-subtractor circuit as shown in Fig 2. Perform the following operations and
record the values of the output sum and the output carry Co.

 Show that Co =1 when sum exceeds 15.

When sum exceeds 15 we need 5-bits to present the number, which means 4-bits with 1 as carry output.
 Comment on sum and Co for the subtraction operations when A > B and A < B.
For subtraction:
When A>B: The sum equals the difference with no carry output.
When A<B: The sum equals thd difference but in negative sign with no carry output.

e) Use IC7485 to compare the following two 4 bit numbers A and B. Record the outputs in table
3. Note that in LogicWorks you need to connect (A = B) input to logic 1 (as an indication that
previous stages are equal in multi-digit numbers) for correct results while this is not necessary
for the hardware.
