Learn how computers add numbers, 4 bit adder circuit

A 4-bit adder circuit is built using individual transitions to work as a calculator that can and up to 31. Two 4-bit inputs can be added and a 5-bit output is displayed using 5 LEDs.

First, the video discusses the difference between the base 10 number system and the base 2 number system which is binary. Positional notation determines the value of each digit. The numbers can be added based on their position as well.

A calculator is built using 4 full adders. Each full adder is built using individual transistors. The full adders are made with XOR gates, AND gates, and OR gates. Once the calculator is built it is tested. It works properly and several additions are made to verify its function.

THIS IS AWESOME, love your content. keep it up man

What about the power supply any 5v regulator dc supply is okay or how it should be done

Hold on now, if we're counting in binary we count from the zero right? So "0Fh + 0Fh" should equate to "16 + 16" in decimal right? The correct result should be thirty-two (notated as 31 because the leading zero) in decimal, 2Fh in hexadecimal, and 0001-1111 in binary.

EDIT: I confused the math. I could have sworn that maxed 4 bits would equal to 16. I should have held off until finishing the video before. Sorry about that.

So Simply By adding More Adder We Can Sum More Numbers, Right? For Ex Make 5Bit Adder?
