Serial Adder Circuit Diagram. It adds 3 one bit numbers out of which two of them are referred to as. For instance for a 4 bit adder four 1 bit full adders are needed.
Figure shows the suitable state diagram defined as a mealy model. Two shift registers are used to store the binary numbers that are to be added. Serial binary adder performs bit by bit addition.
Let s0 and s1 are the states where the carry in values is 0 and 1 respectively.
The advantage of this is that the circuit is simple to design and purely combinatorial. Serial adder if speed is not of great importance a cost effective option is to use a serial adder serial adder. When 3 bits need to be added then full adder is implemented. In many computers and other kinds of processors adders are used in the arithmetic logic units or alu they are also used in other parts of the processor where they are used to calculate addresses table indices increment and decrement operators and similar operations.
