An elementary electronic circuit in the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) of the CPU that adds one bit to another. The output of the half-adder is a result of 0 or 1 and a carry of 0 or 1. Additional ...

The order of precedence is less well defined for logic circuits ... Let’s apply switching algebra to the design of a half adder, a core circuit in CPUs. A half adder takes two binary inputs ...

For this video, [David] makes a half-adder circuit out of four vacuum tubes plus a seven-segment VFD tube to show the combined sum and carry outputs. Momentary switches are used to generate the ...
