4 NAND gates

18
Q

What does a flip flop do?

A

updates the value of Q to the value of D whenever the clock (CLK) ticks, on a rising edge. where the value of Q is the stored value.

Q

An adder is a…

A

logic circuit which adds together the number of inputs which are true, and outputs that number in binary

Q

Because the full adder has a carry input, the circuits can be…

A

chained together to form what’s known as a ripple adder
