[!TLDR]

Two X-OR gates give the sum and two AND gates plus an OR gate give the carry of a full adder.

Realization with two X-OR, two AND and one OR gate:

  • X-OR gate 1 (inputs A,BA, B): output P=A⊕BP = A\oplus B.
  • X-OR gate 2 (inputs P,CinP, C_{in}): output Sum=(A⊕B)⊕Cin=A⊕B⊕CinSum = (A\oplus B)\oplus C_{in} = A\oplus B\oplus C_{in}.
  • AND gate 1 (inputs P,CinP, C_{in}): output =(A⊕B) Cin= (A\oplus B)\,C_{in}.
  • AND gate 2 (inputs A,BA, B): output =A⋅B= A\cdot B.
  • OR gate (inputs of AND1 and AND2): output Cout=AB+(A⊕B)CinC_{out} = AB + (A\oplus B)C_{in}. …
