PROJECT NAME DESIGNING A 4-BIT ADDER
CIRCUIT
INTRODUCTION:
- A 4-bit binary adder is a combinational circuit used to add two 4-bit binary
numbers. It comprises four full adders, each capable of adding two binary
digits and a carry bit.
- The circuit takes two 4-bit binary numbers and a carry-in as input,
producing a 4-bit sum and a carry-out as output.
WORKING
PRINCIPLE:
COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
1. Logic Gates: XOR, AND, OR gates (ICs 7486, 7408. 7432)
2. Optional IC: 7483 (4-bit binary adder)
3. Power Supply: +5V DC
4. Inputs: Toggle switches for binary numbers
5. Outputs: LEDs for sum and carry display
6. Breadboard and connecting wires
STEPS TO BUILD
UNDERSAND THE CIRCUIT
• Identify the inputs (A3-A0, B3-B0) and outputs (S3-S0, carry-out).
• Choose between using basic logic gates or the 7483 IC.
Design the Circuit:
• If using basic gates, wire each full adder stage using XOR, AND, and OR gates.
• For the 7483 IC, connect inputs to A3-A0, B3 -BO, and carry-in to ground or external control.
Connect Outputs:
• Use resistors and LEDs to display the sum and carry-out.
Verify Functionality:
• Input binary numbers and observe correct addition outputs.
APPLICATIONS
- 1. Arithmetic operations in processors
- .2. Digital counters and calculators.
- 3. Control systems requiring binary computation.
ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
- Advantages: - Disadvantages:
- Simple implementation using logic - Limited scalability without increasing
gates or a single IC. complexity.
- Reliable for small-scale binary - Requires additional logic for overflow
addition. detection.
CONCLUSION:
The 4-bit adder demonstrates the fundamental principles of digital
arithmetic. Its implementation forms the basis for more complex
computational circuits like ALUs and microprocessors.
