Part A: Designing the layout of 1-bit half adder

1) 1-bit half adder has been designed by combining AND gate and XOR gate layout that
are inserted from practical work 3 and 4. All the appropriate setting such as input A
and B has been putted on input. Visible node “carry” and “sum” has been putted
respectively on AND gate output and XOR gate output.

Figure A.1 – Half Adder Layout Design

Part B: Simulating the layout of 1-bit half adder

1) For each input A and B has been added clock.

The clock setting for input A:

Time Low = 0.2 ns
Time High = 0.2 ns
Rise Time = Fall Time = 0.001 ns

The clock setting for input B:

Time Low = 0.4 ns
Time High = 0.4 ns
Rise Time = Fall Time = 0.001 ns

2) To make sure that the output voltage is visible on simulation, the visible output for
“Carry” and “Sum” has been added as shown on Figure A.1.

3) After all of the setting applied, the layout has been tested with simulation.

Figure B.1 – Simulation test

4) The layout area size has been measured.

Figure B.2 -The optimized area = 172 λ x 210 λ = 36,120 λ2

RESULT:

DISCUSSION:

1. Explain the operation of a 1-bit half-adder circuit.

- A 1-bit half adder takes two inputs, a and b, and generates two outputs, the carry and
the sum.
- There are two inputs and two outputs in a Half Adder. Inputs are named as A and B,
and the outputs are named as Sum (S) and Carry (C). The Sum is X-OR of the input A
and B. Carry is AND of the input A and B. With the help of half adder, one can
design a circuit that is capable of performing simple addition with the help of logic
gates.
(4 marks)
2. Produce a truth table of a 1-bit half adder.

Inputs Outputs
A B Sum Carry
0 0 0 0
0 1 1 0
1 0 1 0
1 1 0 1

(2 marks)
3. From the truth table, produce the equation for SUM and CARRY OUT.

Sum = AB + AB

Carry = A B .

4. Figure 5.5 shows a block diagram of 1-bit half adder. Draw the logic circuit for 1-bit half
adder using XOR and AND gate.

CONCLUSION:

- The Half adder layout can be designed using XOR gate and AND gate layout.
- XOR gate functions as sum while AND gate functions as carry.So that, it can be
used as binary calculator that can perform addition on binary number.
