Binary Conversion and Adders
In this lab, students learn about binary conversion and different methods of using logic gates to implement binary addition. In the activity, students use Mulitisim to simulate different methods of binary addition, and complete an analysis. Then, the students validate the simulation on an FPGA.
This is lab 4 of
16 in the course,
Digital Electronics.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this lab, students will be able to:
- Construct half and full adders with logic gates and create truth tables from them
- Connect multiple full adders with each other to explore the ripple effect
- Confirm the truth table for a full adder
