“To design & construct Full Adder by Using Half Adders & To Verify its Truth Table”

1. Objective:

The main objective is to design and verify the truth table of 
     i.      Full Adder

2. Components:

i.               Bread Board
ii.            Connecting Wires
iii.          LED iv.           Battery
v.         3 IC’s
a.       IC 7486 for XOR Gate  
b.      IC 7408 for AND Gate
c.       IC 7432 for OR Gate

3. Introduction:

3.1.Bread Board:

A bread board is an electronic board into which the electrical components like diodes and resistors are placed. The sockets of bread board are sturdy and rugged. Diodes or other electrical components should be placed without making any damage to the board.

3.2.Integrated Circuits:

A circuit of transistors, resistors, and capacitors constructed on a single semiconductor wafer or chip, in which the components areinterconnected to perform a given function. IC’s consume very little current, generate comparatively little heat, and are far more shock-proof and reliable than the older discrete-component circuits. 





An integrated circuit consists of a number of circuit components (e.g. transistors, diodes, resistors etc.) and them inter connections in a single small package to perform a complete electronic function. These components are formed and connected within a small chip of semiconductor material. IC’s can be used as advanced logic gates. Some IC’s description is given below which can be used for logic gates.

3.3.Light Emitting Diodes:

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. LED’s convert electrical energy to light energy. In electronics, polarity indicates whether a circuit component is symmetric or not. Being diodes, will only allow current to flow in one direction. And when there’s no current-flow, there’s no light. The positive side of the LED is called the “anode” and is marked by having a longer “lead,” or leg. The other, negative side of the LED is called the “cathode.” 

3.4.Full Adder

A full adder is a combinational circuit that forms the arithmetic sum of three input bits. A full adder consists of three inputs and two outputs. Two of the input variables full adder, denoted by x and y, represent the two significant bits to be added. The third input, z, represents the carry from the previous lower significant position. Two outputs of full adder are necessary because the arithmetic sum of three binary digits’ ranges in value from 0 to 3, and binary 2 or 3 needs two digits. The two output of full adder are designated by the symbols S (for sum) and C (for carry). The binary variable S gives the value of the least significant bits of the sum.

5. Experimental Setup:

 

6. Experimentation:

1.      First of all, suitable IC’s for XOR ,OR and AND gate are chosen, i.e. IC 7486 ,7432 & 7408 respectively.
2.      Inserted IC’s on the bread board.
3.      As there are 14 pins on IC, 7th pin is grounded and a positive potential is applied to the 14th pin via a battery of potential less than 5V.
4.      First Input A of XOR is connected with first input of first AND gate.
5.      Second input B of XOR is connected with the second input of first AND gate.
6.      Output of first XOR is given to the first input of second XOR, while its second input is left to consider it carry          .
7.      The first input of second XOR is connected to the first input of second AND gate, while second input of second XOR is connected to the second input of AND gate.
8.      First LED is inserted on bread board with its positive terminal connected to the output   of second XOR gate and negative signal is given to the other terminal.
9.      The outputs of both AND gates are given to the OR gate as its two inputs.
10.  Second LED is inserted on bread board with its positive terminal connected to the output  of OR gate and negative signal is given to the other terminal.
11.  Then one by one checked all the eight possible combination of three inputs so that truth table can be verified.
12.  Truth table is drawn.

8. Results & Discussion:

We have designed Full Adders combining two half adders in a suitable way. As we have also verified the truth tables of full adders we can deduce some main points from this. The total OR , XOR & AND logic gates in IC’s 7432 & 7408 respectively are 4. The whole circuit is OFF when all of the inputs are zero, and ON when all of these are OFF.

9. Conclusion:

Through this experiment we have designed Full Adders by using Half Adders and their truth tables are verified by using IC’s inserted on bread board along with LED to show OFF or ON status of output.
