Experiment Questions: 1- Construct a truth table for a half adder circuit, including the sum and carry-out outputs. Write equations for the outputs of the half adder that are minimal in terms of the number of gates required for implementation.

half adder is a type of adder, an electronic circuit that performs addition of numbers. A half adder adds two single-bit numbers and provides the sum and carry outputs. The truth table for a half adder circuit is as follows B | Sum | Carry |<br />| --- | --- | --- | --- |<br />| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |<br />| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |<br />| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |<br />| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |<br /><br />The equations for the outputs of the half adder that are minimal in terms of the number of gates required for implementation are:<br /><br />Sum = A XOR B<br />Carry = A AND B<br /><br />These equations are minimal because they require only two XOR gates and two AND gates to implement, which is the minimum number of gates required to implement the half adder circuit.
