reaLLy ? can you give me the equivaLent cascaded circuit using 2 7483 ? knowing that ,, maybe I can derive that thing using onLy basic Logic gates . I want to impLement it that way because our task is to design a 7-bit binary adder/subractor without using any speciaL kind of ic .. hehehe
Xor (or maybe its XNor) the seven bits you want to subtract. Wire the subtract control signal M to all seven Xors. Assuming you are doing twos-complement, then the subtract control signal M also goes to the carry-in of the low order full adder.
Ones complement: to negate a number, complement every bit.
Twos complement: to negate a number, complement every bit, and add one.
