Abstract

1521790 Adders HONEYWELL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Inc 1 Oct 1976 [1 Oct 1975] 40779/76 Heading G4A In a current node logic half adder, first and second upper level logic gates 105, 110 (Fig. 1) receive a first reference voltage and one of the two input signals A, the first or second of the gates 105, 110 being fed with current in dependence on whether the other input signal B, which is fed to a low level logic gate 120, is "1" or "0" respectively. The sum output is obtained by combining the outputs representing #A.B from the first gate and A.#B from the second gate in an OR gate 115, the carry signal being the output representing A.B from the first gate. The two half adders 100,200 may be combined to provide a full adder, the first receiving the inputs A and B and the second receiving the sum output from the first and the carry input, with the sum output being the sum from the second half adder 200 and the carry output being derived by ORing the carriers from both half adders. The low level logic gate 120 is formed by a transistor pair Q 4 , Q 6 (Fig. 4) with their emitters connected, the transistor Q 4 receiving the second input signal B via an emitter follower Q 2 , transistor Q 8 dropping the voltage of the first reference voltage by the same amount. Constant current for the gate is provided by transistor Q 5 . Each of the higher level logic gates 105, 110 comprises a similar transistor pair with the reference voltage being fed direct to the base of one transistor and the first input signal A being connected to the base of the other transistor.
