Definition
An arithmetic circuit is a set of gates with a
separate set of inputs for each number that
has to be processed. The gates are
connected so as to carry out an arithmetic
action and the outputs of the gate circuit are
the digits of the result (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, or division).
The rules of binary addition for two bits are:
0 + 0 = 0
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 0 = 1
1 + 1 = 0 and carry 1 (the binary number 10;
denary 2).
The simplest possible adder circuit for binary
digits is called a half-adder, and it allows two bits
to be added, with a main output and a carry bit.
The truth table is illustrated in Figure 10.9, and this
illustration also indicates that the half-adder can be
constructed by using a combination of an
exclusive-OR gate and an AND gate. The carry bit
is 0 except when both inputs bits are 1, which is as
required by the rules of binary arithmetic.
1. Half Adder : Half Adder is a combinational
logic circuit which is designed by connecting
one EX-OR gate and one AND gate. The half
adder circuit has two inputs: A and B, which
add two input digits and generates a carry
and a sum.
