4 bit binary adder circuit discussion with example. Half-adder, full-adder,adder-subtractor, verilog
4 bit binary Adder introduction:-
Binary adders are implemented to add two binary numbers of any length. To add two 4 bit binary numbers we need 4 bit binary adder.

Binary adders are implemented using full-adder connected in series as shown in block diagram below.  

In this implementation Carry of each full-adder is connected to previous carry.

Example

Lets discuss one example for 4 bit binary Adder.  In this example we will use some terms from Register Transfer Level (RTL) implementations.

Q. Add two binary numbers 7 and 15 with previous carry = 0.

Sol. Load the values in two registers R1 and R2.
So, R1 = 7 (decimal) = 0111 (in binary A3A2A1A0)
&   R2 = 15 (decimal) = 1111 (in binary B3B2B1B0)

So from the above implementation we have -

Augends bits A
Addend bits B

Sum of two binary numbers 7 and 15 from above table
Is C4S3S2S1S0 = 10110 (In Binary) = 16 (decimal)
In the results we have appended C4 in front of the sum digits to accommodate overflow bit from the binary addition flow. Overflow is discussed in this section.
