 DESIGN BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION
Introduction
A binary subtractor is an electronic circuit used in digital electronics, such as a computer, to
subtract two binary numbers. It is built using binary adders. A variety of computer arithmetic techniques
can be used to implement a digital subtractor.

Unlike the Binary Adder which produces a SUM and a CARRY bit when two binary numbers are
added together, the binary subtractor produces a DIFFERENCE, D by using a BORROW bit, B from the
previous column. Then obviously, the operation of subtraction is the opposite to that of addition.
In this project design the inputs are restricted to have only 2 inputs containing 3-bit binary
combinations. To implement the project, different logic gate combinations were used to perform different
mathematical operations, specifically, addition and subtraction.
Objectives
The project objective is to visualize the principles and applications of logic gates.
Also be able to present an output using LED by subtractors numbers.

Scopes and Delimitations

The project covers logic and integrated circuits basic concepts, and apply it for us
to create a fully functional plus enjoyable logic game that is fully founded on the said
concepts. The game will serve as a source of entertainment and a solid couple with concrete
application of the things that were learned from the discussions in Discrete Mathematics.

 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

• Conclusion
• The objective of this study is to create a logic circuit that correctly subtract 2 4-bit binary
numbers with one another and produce the correct output consisting of the borrowed and the
difference.
• With this study, we have correctly created the 4-bit subtractor that shows the correct output
consisting the borrowed and the difference. The logic circuit we created can correctly produce
and compute the given 3-bit subtractor using the 0 – 0 = 0, 1 – 1 = 0, 1 – 0 = 1.
• Recommendation:
• Instead of simply using the schematic of the binary subtractor, try using logic circuit of
binary adder and invert it or maybe try using other logic circuits to come up with the same
output as a subtractor.
