HD74AC283/HD74ACT283
4-bit Binary Full Adder with Fast Carry
Description
The HD74AC283/HD74ACT283 high-speed 4-bit binary full adder with internal carry lookahead accepts
two 4-bit binary works (A
0
A
3
, B
0
B
3
) and a Carry input (C
0
). It generates the binary Sum outputs (S
0
S
3
) and the Carry output (C
4
) from the most significant bit. The HD74AC283/HD74ACT283 will operate
with either active High or active Low operands (positive or negative logic).

Functional Description
The HD74AC283/HD74ACT283 adds two 4-bit binary words (A plus B) plus the incoming Carry (C
0
).
The binary sum appears on the Sum (S
0
S
3
) and outgoing carry (C
4
) outputs. The binary weight of the
various inputs and outputs is indicated by the subscript numbers, representing powers of two.

Interchanging inputs of equal weight does not affect the operation. Thus C
0
, A
0
, B
0
can be arbitrarily
assigned to pins 5, 6 and 7 for DIPS. Due to the symmetry of the binary add function, the
HD74AC283/HD74ACT283 can be used either with all inputs and outputs active High (positive logic) or
with all inputs and outputs active Low (negative logic). See Figure a. Note that if C
0
is not used it must be
tied Low for active High logic or tied High for active Low logic.
Due to pin limitations, the intermediate carries of the HD74AC283/HD74ACT283 are not brought out for
use as inputs or outputs. However, other means can be used to effectively insert a carry into, or bring a
carry out from, an intermediate stage. Figure b shows how to make a 3-bit adder. Tying the operand inputs
of the fourth adder (A
3
, B
3
) Low makes S
3
dependent only on, and equal to, the carry from the third adder.
Using somewhat the same principle Figure c shows a way of dividing the HD74AC283/HD74ACT283 into
a 2-bit and a 1-bit adder. The third stage adder (A
2
, B
2
, S
2
) is used merely as a means of getting a carry
(C
10
) signal into the fourth stage (via A
2
and B
2
) and bringing out the carry from the second stage on S
2
.
Note that as long as A
2
and B
2
are the same, whether High or Low, they do not influence S
2
. Similarly,
when A
2
and B
2
are the same the carry into the third stage does not influence the carry out of the third
HD74AC283/HD74ACT283
3
stage. Figure d shows a method of implementing a 5-input encoder, where the inputs are equally weighted.
The outputs S
0
, S
1
and S
2
present a binary number equal to the number of inputs I
1
I
5
that are true. Figure
e shows one method of implementing a 5-input majority gate. When three or more of the inputs I
1
I
5
are
true, the output M
5
is true.
