4-bit-Binary-Adder-subtractor

4-bit binary calculator grew from my curiosity about digital electronics. Built without a microcontroller, it performs binary addition and subtraction using logic gates, switches, and LEDs, while documenting my journey from Proteus simulation and breadboard testing to KiCad PCB design. Full Adder — Simulation, Schematic & PCB Design

This repository contains the complete design and implementation of a 1-bit Full Adder, including its logic simulation, KiCad schematics, PCB design, and IC footprints.

A full adder is a combinational logic circuit that adds three binary inputs:

A — First input B — Second input Cin — Carry input

It produces two outputs:

Sum Cout — Carry output

The circuit can be represented as:

Sum = A ⊕ B ⊕ Cin

Cout = AB + ACin + BCin
