Found 2 Articles for Subtractors

A subtractor is a combinational logic circuit that can perform the subtraction of two numbers (or binary numbers) and produce the difference between them. It is a combinational logic circuit. Therefore, the output of the subtractor depends only on its present inputs. There are two types of subtractors namely, Half Subtractor Full Subtractor Read this tutorial to find out how you can realize a full subtractor using half subtractors. For the implementation of a full subtractor, we require two half subtractors. Let's start with a brief overview of half and full subtractors. What is a Half Subtractor? A ... Read More

In digital electronics, adders and subtractors both are the combinational logic circuits (a combinational logic circuit is one whose output depends only on the present inputs, but not on the past outputs) that can add or subtract numbers, more specifically binary numbers. Adders and subtractors are the crucial parts of arithmetic logic circuits in processing devices like microprocessors or microcontrollers. In this article, we will discuss adders and subtractors in detail. What is an Adder? We have different types of digital devices like computers, calculators that can perform a variety of processing functions like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc. The ... Read More
