- Combinational circuits consist of logic gates whose outputs depend only on the present inputs. They have no memory.
- A half adder is a basic combinational circuit that adds two 1-bit numbers and produces a sum and carry output. A full adder adds three 1-bit numbers.
- Other common combinational circuits described in the document include half and full subtractors, magnitude comparators, encoders, decoders, multiplexers, and demultiplexers. Each has a specific function and truth table defining its input-output behavior.
