Half Adder Circuit

Discussion:
In this lab experiment a half adder circuit is created by using breadboard to analyze and verify its
truth table. A half adder circuit is basically a digital circuit that performs the addition of two single bit
binary numbers. Its an essential building block in digital electronics, commonly used in arithmetic logic
units (ALUs) and various computing devise. In the half adder circuit, two inputs, usually denoted as A and
B are fed into the X-OR and AND gates. The X-OR provides the “SUM” while the AND gate provides
the output “CARRY”.

Procedure:

 To create the half adder circuit on breadboard, we will first place two ICs (EX-OR and AND) on
the breadboard in head to tail way.
 And then connect the PIN-7 of both the ICs to ground and PIN-14 of both the ICs to VCC
respectively.
 Now connect the PIN-1 of X-OR gate to the PIN-1 of AND gate (inputs for AND gate). And
connect PIN-2 of X-OR to the PIN-2 of AND gate respectively.
 Now we will connect the two resistors of 100kohm, one from PIN-3 of X-OR gate and the other
from the PIN-3 of AND gate.
 After this we will be connecting two LEDs. Positive side with resistor and negative side with
ground.
 Now we will connect the 9v battery whose positive terminal will be connected with VCC, and
negative terminal with ground.
 As we can see from the circuit diagram, the inputs to ICs are A and B is directly to the EX-OR
gate so we will be connecting two wires from the X-OR gate’s terminal number 1 and terminal
number 2 as our inputs.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the design of a half adder circuit on a breadboard demonstrates the fundamental principles
of digital electronics. By effectively using basic components like logic gates, we can create a simple
circuit that performs the essential function of adding two single-bit binary numbers. Additionally, this
project illustrates the importance of prototyping and testing in circuit design, providing valuable insights
for further exploration into more complex digital systems. Overall, constructing a half adder not only
reinforces theoretical knowledge but also develops practical skills essential for any aspiring electronics
engineer.
