Half Subtractor
Subtracts one bit from another, producing a Difference bit and a Borrow bit. The complement of the half adder.
Was du lernst
- Derive Difference and Borrow from a truth table
- Contrast the half subtractor with the half adder
- Identify when a borrow is generated
So funktioniert es
The Difference output is A XOR B; the Borrow output is high only when A=0 and B=1 (you can't take 1 from 0 without borrowing). It is the subtraction counterpart of the half adder.
