Implementation of a Full Adder (carry-in)
Verilog Implementation Use switches to input binary numbers—x, y, and z. z is the carry-in. Display the output on the LED. Press a button to determine which bit will be displayed. s represents the sum bit. c represents the carry-out bit. A mux is used to determine Whether s or c should be displayed.
Multiplexing 7-Segment Displays (Last Week) Get values for an[3:0] from btn[3:0] so that only one LED is displayed. If s[1:0]=00, then x[3:0]. If s[1:0]=01, then x[7:4]. If s[1:0]=10, then x[11:8]. If s[1:0]=11, then x[15:12]. Use Quad 4-to-1 mux
Explanation of the Code If btn[0] is pushed, t[0] is 0. If btn[1] is pusehd, t[0] is 1. So we can use t[0] as a selector bit for the MUX. t[ ] =s[] If the output of the MUX is a 0, a 0 Is displayed. If the output of the MUX is a 1, a 1 is displayed.
Implementation of a Full Adder (carry-in)
Four-Bit Adder C 4 is calculated last because it takes C 0 8 gates to reach C 4. Each FA uses 2 XOR, 2 AND and 1 OR gate. A four-bit adder uses 8 XOR, 8 AND and 4 OR gate.
Alternative Naming Convention for the Full Adder
Hardware Simplification 2 gate delays for C 3 !
Four-bit adder with Carry Lookahead Ripple adder uses 8 XOR, 8 AND and 4 OR gate. Lookahead implementation: 8 XOR, (4+6) AND, 1 2-input OR, 2 3-input OR.
Advantages C1, C2 and C3 do not have to wait for C1 and C2 to progate. C3 is propagated at the same time as C1 and C2.

Unsigned Number Decimalb1b (2-bit example)
Unsigned Addition 1+2= Decimalb1b Decimalb1b1 b0b
Unsigned Addition 1+3= Decimalb1b Decimalb1b1 b0b (Carry Out) (Indicates Overflow) Overflow can be an issue in unsigned addition.
Unsigned Subtraction (1) 1-2= Decimalb1b Decimalb1b1 b0b (1’s complement) (2’s complement)
Unsigned Subtraction (2) 2-1= Decimalb1b Decimalb1b Discarded
Summary for Unsigned Addition/Subtraction Overflow can be an issue in unsigned addition Unsigned Subtraction (M-N) – If M≥N, and end carry will be produced. The end carry is discarded. – If M<N, Take the 2’s complement of the sum Place a negative sign in front
Signed Binary Numbers 4-bit binary number – 1 bit is used as a signed bit – -8 to +7 – 2’s complement

Signed Subtraction (-70-80) b7b7 b6b6 b5b5 b4b4 b3b3 b2b2 b1b1 b0b = = = =16+64 (Indicates a positive number! A negative number expected.) → → ↔ = = ↔-150 Conclusion: There is a problem of overflow Fix: Use the end carry as the sign bit, and let b7 be the extra bit.
Observations Given the similarity between addition and subtraction, same hardware can be used. Overflow is an issue that needs to be addressed in the hardware implementation A signed number is not processed any different from an unsigned number. The programmer must interpret the results of addition and subtraction appropriately.

M=0 (Addition) 0 B3B3 B2B2 B1B1 B0B0
M=1 (Subtraction) 1 2’s complement is generated of B is generated!
Unsigned Addition When two unsigned numbers are added, an overflow is detected from the end carry.
Detect Overflow in Signed Addition Observe 1.The cary into the sign bit 2.The carry out of the sign bit If they are not equal, they indicate an overflow.
