Certainly! Here’s a concise explanation of the operation of a half-adder and a full-adder:
Half-Adder:
Adds two single-bit binary numbers (A and B).
Produces two outputs: sum (S) and carry (C).
S is the XOR of A and B.
C is the AND of A and B.
Full-Adder:
Adds three input bits: A, B, and a carry-in (Cin).
Produces two outputs: sum (S) and carry-out (Cout).
S is the result of adding A, B, and Cin using XOR gates.
Cout represents the carry generated by the addition of A, B, and Cin.
Full-adders are used in multi-bit addition circuits to handle carry propagation between stages.
