A full subtractor circuit requires_________. Choose the right answer to the question from the following options:
- two inputs and two outputs
- two inputs and three outputs
- three inputs and one output
- three inputs and two outputs
Table of content
Answer – D. three inputs and two outputs.
A full subtractor circuit requires three inputs and two outputs.
Solution:
A full subtractor is a combinational circuit that takes care of the subtraction of two bits, one is minuend and other is subtrahend, taking into account borrow of the previous adjacent lower minuend bit. A full subtractor circuit requires three inputs and two outputs. The three inputs A, B and Bin, represent the minuend, subtrahend, and previous borrow, respectively. The two outputs, D and Bout denote the difference and output borrow, respectively.
Therefore, A full subtractor circuit requires three inputs and two outputs. Hence, Option (D) is the correct answer.
