Consider the problem of adding two single-bit numbers, A and B, resulting in a
single two-bit answer. The truth table for this operation is shown above.

The two output functions are labeled ‘C’ and ‘S’, where ‘S’ stands for ‘sum’ is
the low order bit of the output. The ‘C’ stands for ‘carry’, and is the high order
bit of the output. The functions for S and C can be written as the two Minimum
Sum of Products (MSOP) form as per equations below:

C = AB (A Logical AND with B)

S = A’B + AB’ (Logical OR of A-Complement with B and B-complement with

A)

A circuit that implements these two functions is known as a half adder. We

can build a half adder circuit with one logical AND gate and one Logical OR
gate ICs. This adder is referred to as a half adder because it only solves half
the general problem of adding numbers with more than one bit. Let's take a
look at an example of what happens when we add two 8-bit numbers:
Carry (C) 10111000
Input-1 (A) 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1
Input-2 (B) 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0
Sum(S) 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1
Note that, except for the right most column, we are actually adding three bits:
a bit from each of the 2 numbers and a carry bit from the bits immediately to
the right. Note also that each addition produces 2 bits - the result bit (S), and
the carry bit (C). Now, let's make a truth table for this addition process. The
truth table will have three variables, one bit from each of the numbers A and
B, and a carry in bit(Cin), which represents the carry from the previous
position. The two outputs are the sum bit and the carry out bit (Cout), which
will be used in the next position.
 Cin B A SUM (S) CARRY (Cout)
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0
0 1 0 1 0
0 1 1 0 1
1 0 0 1 0
1 0 1 0 1
1 1 0 0 1
1 1 1 1 1
We'll use Karnaugh maps to simplify the two functions in the table above into
MSOP form:
00
BA BA
Cin 00 01 11 10 Cin 01 11 10
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1
1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0
Sum (S) = A’B’Cin + AB’ Cin’+
Carry (Cout)=
A’B Cin’ + AB Cin
A.B+B.Cin+Cin.A
= A XOR B XOR Cin

We can implement the function for Carry(Cout ) and Sum (S) in a

straightforward manner, as shown below in logical circuit diagram.
