How many bits does a full adder take in?
Short answer. 3: A, B and carry in.
What joins the two carries?
An OR gate.
Full adder
| Half adder 1: A and B |
| Half adder 2: sum and Cin |
| OR gate joins both carries |
Remember
| Full adder takes 3 bits |
| 2 half adders + 1 OR gate |
A half adder cannot take a carry in. What can? A full adder. Half adder one adds A and B. Half adder two adds that sum and the carry in. An OR gate joins the carries. Two points. Three bits in. Two half adders and an OR.
