Procedure:
1. I took wires and cut them with the help of cutter.
2. I connected both the ICs on the breadboard.
3. I took two wires (white) and connected each of them at 7th
pin of both the ICs on
breadboard and grounded them.
4. Then I took two wires and connected them separately at 14th
pin of both the ICs on the
breadboard in order to give the circuit 5V of voltage supply.
5. I connected another pair of wires (Orange and blue) at pins 1 and 2 of the IC 74LS86 and
connected the other end of them at pins 12 & 13 of the IC 74LS08.
6. I connected another pair of wires at pins 1 and 2 and connected the other end of them at
the switches S1 and S7 to give inputs.
7. Then I connected one end of another wire with pin 3 of IC 74LS86 and another wire at
pin 11 of IC74LS08 in order to get output and other ends of them with LEDs l4 and l5.
Pin 3 was used for the result of sum and pin 11 for carry’s output.
8. Then I started giving inputs using switches S1 and S7. Firstly I keep both the switches at
low level that is “0” and got “0” in both carry and sum.
9. Then I keep S1 high and S7 low and got ‘0’ carry and ‘1’ as a sum.
10. Then I keep S1 low and S7 high and got ‘0’ carry and ‘1’ as a sum.
11. Then I keep both S1 and S7 high and got ‘1’ carry and ‘0’ as a sum.
Result:
Hence I studied the operation of Half adder circuit using XOR and AND gates.
